I REMEMBER this recipe from my childhood. My German grandmother made this roast every Sunday - it was our equivalent to everyone else's customary fried chicken dinner. There were many happy times spent around Grandma's kitchen table enjoying this tasty meal. -Mary Ann Morgan, Cedartown, Georgia

This is one of my favorite recipes, and thanks for posting it. I just remembered I have a pork roast in the freezer, and I intend to fix this for my family in the coming week.
