From Orlando, Florida, Christina Marquis explains, “Served with fresh bread, this easy-to-prepare, tender roast is a wonderful reminder of New England’s autumn flavors. It always brings back memories of a friend’s maple sap house in New Hampshire, where we’re originally from.”

I made this last night and it was a big hit. The flavor was wonderful. I will definitely be making it again, though maybe use the crockpot.

I love this recipe. It tastes really good and it's easy to make. I just put everything in a crock pot all at once and eat when ready. I've made it multiple times and haven't gotten tired of it yet.

Could this be done in a slow cooker?
