  Remove the roast from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. (Discard brine.) Tie the roast between each bone with kitchen twine. Season generously with pepper. (Don't forget the ends.)

  When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke and set the temperature to 350F and preheat for 10 to 15 minutes. Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the 2 cup of apple cider and the rosemary to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce by half. Whisk in the mustards, honey, applejack, if using, and the molasses. Keep warm.
