Ingredients
3 1/2 to 4 lb. leg of pork, fresh
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/2 c. smoky barbecue sauce
1/2 c. grape jelly
2 tsp. chili powder

Directions:

1. Prepare medium-hot banked fire in kettle-style grill. Season pork roast with salt and pepper. Grill over indirect heat, not directly over fire, in covered grill for 1 1/2 hours (about 20 minutes per pound).

2. Meanwhile, stir together barbecue sauce, jelly and chili powder. The last 30 minutes, start basting with sauce mixture every 5-10 minutes until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145°F. Remove roast from heat; let rest about 10 minutes before slicing to serve.

* Show your guests a little leg. This fresh leg roast is a great way to welcome the summer grilling season. Serve with grilled vegetables, fresh seasonal fruit and try Jícama Salad With Chile And Lime.
