Despite getting the wrong cranberry sauce at the store (we got the regular ol' cranberry jelly) and not having any ginger this was amazing! The kids LOVED the glaze (while the roast was resting I poured it into a sauce pan and added some cornstarch to thicken it up some) and kept asking for more the hubby kept remarking at the flavor and the juiciness of the pork and while it was cooking it made the entire house smell divine. This is going in the "tried & true" list for sure.
This recipe was delicious. I used ground cloves instead of whole, but I should have used a little less of all of the spices. But even still, it was great. I will definitely make this next Christmas!
Positively delectable! My whole house smelled amazing while this was in the oven!
Our new Christmas tradition!
this was delicious. The aroma while baking is fantastic and the meat was so tender you almost don't need a knife. My husband said this is definitely a keeper.
Why 3 stars? No where does it say you should reserve the sauce from the pan and pour over each slice of the roast. It looked beautiful out of the oven but was virtually tasteless. When I saved the leftovers (there were a lot of them unfortunately) in the fridge I poured the pan sauce over the roast to keep it moist. Next day I sliced off a piece and put some of the sauce on it. Incredible. My wife sent a note out to the poor people who had eaten the bland product from the night before explaining our mistake. Maybe I should have assumed the sauce in the pan was good as a gravy but I thought it might have been too greasy. Probably would have been a five star if I'd gotten it right the first time. Also as others have mentioned it cooks faster than the recipe indicates.
I normally cook for a minimum of 25 people so I'm always looking for a easy but exciting recipe. This recipe fits the bill! I was tempted to brown the roast first as a way to get some more flavors under the sauce but stuck with the recipe and added some salt at the end. Next time I'll pull the sauce season and thicken it. Great holiday recipe. the cook
Quick to prepare then stick it in the oven! Smells and tastes great!
I made it for Christmas Eve dinner was very good. I had a problem with the sauce not enough left in pan to pour on slices next time I will make more sauce.
