"I ALWAYS looked forward to Sunday dinner at my grandparents' house, because Grandmother was the best cook anywhere. All her meals were delicious, but I especially loved dinners featuring this savory pot roast. It's wonderful with garden-fresh vegetables on the side and a dessert made with apples. -Frances Wilson, Tulsa, Oklahoma"

It wasn't as good as I expected. This is an easy recipe for beginners, but nothing special.

I enjoyed this very much. The whole family did. I didn't have chutney or raisins on hand (don't really care for raisins in cooked foods) and it was still very good.
