Instructions: Spiced crab apples (Whole if available because they are so pretty)

Day before serving: combine crushed garlic, soy sauce, catsup, lemon juice and pepper to use as marinade. With a sharp knife make 12 cuts 1/2" deep in fat surface of roast. Insert slivers of garlic. Stud remaining fat surface with whole cloves. Cover roast with marinade and refrigerate until 3 hours prior to serving. (Marinate overnight) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove roast from marinade and place on rack, fat side up in shallow roasting pan. Cook 1 1/2 hours. Heat apricot preserves until melted. Remove roast from oven and brush on 1/2 cup of preserves. Return to oven and continue cooking 20 to 30 min. Remove from oven. Transfer to large platter covered with parsley or curly kale.

Garnish with crab apples and serve with remaining apricot preserve sauce.
