Apple cider, dried cherries and fresh rosemary put the pizzazz in this pleasing pork roast. It's even more flavorful when drizzled with the sweet pan juices. —Terry Danner of Rochelle, Illinois

I really liked this one. I may try other complementary fruits besides cherries.

Not bad, but was missing something. Perhaps some allspice and onions?

LOVED THIS!!!! I used two 1 lb pork tenderloins and I cooked them on high for 4 hours and it was perfect! I would reccomend using a spice bag for the rosemary because it was a mess having to separate it from the cherries. I also added more cherries to the reduction sauce. I can't wait to make it again!

i only had one roast that was 1 1/4 pounds. It tasted good but I think I cooked it to long as it dried out.

wow this was incredibly moist and tasty. Did not have cherries used cranberries. Only cooked on low 4 hours to get to temp watch out that it doesnt overcook! Fantastic and sooo easy.
