2 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoon soy sauce

Stir together maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Spread evenly over pork roast and place in a shallow pan, surrounded by carrots and potatoes. Roast in a 350oF oven until internal temperature of pork, measured with a meat thermometer, reaches 1550F to 160oF, and vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes to 1-1/4 hours. Remove from oven; slice roast to serve with vegetables.
