Meet the Cook: Many pork recipes were too spicy for me, so I decided to try this sweeter alternative. That was 18 years ago, and it became a family favorite. It tastes great the day after in a cold sandwich, too. Today, our two daughters make this roast often. We also have eight grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. -Madeline Strauss, Clinton Township, Michigan

Quick to put together and delicious. Made for Easter and everyone loved it.

This was excellent. I did add the dry mustard and cloves to the glaze. I had a larger roast. It took a good 3.5 to 4hrs. I thought the 140 degrees sounded too low for pork to be done enough. I looked it up to make sure, and most of the info I found all said 160. So my hunch was correct. So I was expecting it to take longer. Also I don't think my oven is working just right either. Anyhow, it turned out delicious! I will certainly follow this recipe again.

I made this for Christmas dinner last year. It was such a big hit with the entire family that I will be making it for Christmas again this year!

Similar to another TOH recipe I've used for yrs. that calls for an entire 16 oz. can of whole berry cranberry sauce as well as 1 tsp. ground mustard, 1/4 tsp. ground cloves, 1/4 cup cold water & 1/4 cup water. I freeze any leftover sauce in 1/2 cup portions, which is also delicious spooned over broiled skinless/boneless chicken breasts for a quick, simple meal.

We made this for Christmas dinner. It was delicious! I will definitely make this one again, and share the recipe with my friends!

My pork roast was exactly 3lbs but it took longer than 1hr to get done. This same recipe is in TOH holiday recipe card collection magazine 2000 with the only difference being a longer cooking time of 1hr and 45 min. I think that is more accurate. Having said that, this is sooo delicious I will certainly make again.

I followed t' recipe and it turned out really good. So, 2nd time i baked the pork and made the sauce, but this time i cut the pork and pour the sauce on top and kept it marinading and had it on low heat while we were waiting for the other food to be ready. Every one went for seconds. YUMMY! =)
