My review
Christmas Pork Roast
1
Steffamie
"This is a recipe I made up when my husband requested a 'roast that tastes like Christmas.' It's a savory-sweet pork roast with cranberries, apples, and cloves. You can add ground cloves to the glaze instead of using whole cloves."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place pork roast into a roasting pan; push whole cloves into the meat. Cover the roast with apple slices.

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.
