Roast for Great Sandwiches

I love this time of year. Life has quieted down; there's time to kick back, relax, either stay inside or spend time out of doors, what ever your pleasure. And "no muss, no fuss" cooking. Time to invite friends over, whether it's just for the evening, or for that football game, or for the winter movie marathon. Here's a great idea: cook a peameal roast and then slice it for sandwiches. You'll put out the fixings on the day of the event (rolls, condiments, lettuce, onion, tomatoe, cheese, etc.) and have plenty of time to enjoy your friends. No pictures...you know what it looks like!

1 Gord’s Great Canadian Bacon Roast, about 5 pounds
Whole cloves
Bottle of beer

Method:
1. Put whole cloves into the roast throughout.
2. Place roast into a small roast pan and add enough beer to cover the bottom of the pan, ½ inch deep.
3. Cover with aluminum foil tightly and bake until the center of the roast reaches 150 degrees F. Depending on your oven and altitude, it should take about 60 or more minutes.
4. Remove cloves, slice and enjoy. (The alcohol in the beer will evaporate during the cooking process but leave behind the flavor).

Enjoy!
