- 2 ½ tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt

Then you will need to:

- Toss the salt, rosemary, pepper, and garlic together and rub 2 tablespoons of the mixture on the inside of the roast. Layer with the steeped fruit and roll the roast up, tying with butcher's twine.
- Rub the outside of the roast with oil and the rest of the rosemary mixture. Place the roast on a roasting pan.
