This was really good, very flavorful. My husband really enjoyed it and wants me to make it again. I didn't have orange marmalade so I used apricot preserves..excellent. The meat turns out dry but if you shred it after it cooks its much better.. I find crock pot meat to always be dry. Thanks for this recipe, its a keeper.

Even with mushrooms, extra vegetables and fresh herbs this was pretty boring. All I could think of was this dish was a Beef Burgundy wannabee that failed.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe but made one change at the end that worked really well for us. Rather than using the corn starch to thicken it and separately make pasta, we decided to just add uncooked elbow pasta (Dreamfields Brand which is low carb but delicious) to the slow cooker about 2 hrs before it was done. The pasta cooked perfectly and used up most of the liquid present so it became a wonderful stew with pasta instead of serving it over pasta. It also freezes well for a quick dinner when you are in a hurry.

I like the flavor, I kept tasting a sweetness which I think was from the yellow pepper. My husband did not like the fennel seed in it, next time will have to remove the seeds before eating.

very tasty and easy to make! The amount of cornstarch called for did not thicken my stew, so I doubled it. Used Italian stewed tomatoes instead of diced because that's what I had. Had the stew on spag. first night but liked it just as well if not better just as a stew the second night!

Great flavor, but need much more vegetables. The pepper blend was not enough. It is also very unnecessary to brown the pork first - save yourself that step. I served with rice instead of fettuccine.
