EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Dried orange peel can be used in place of fresh orange peel. Look for dried peel near the seasonings at the grocery store.

Raisins can be used in place of the dried cranberries in this roast, but will impart a slightly sweeter flavor.

Steamed green beans and a mixed rice pilaf go well with this pork roast. Complete the meal with warm rolls and milk.

The gravy and cranberries were delicious! I will definitely make this again, however I will look for a different cut of pork this time. The meat I bought was called pork shoulder butt and the meat came out tough and there was lots of fat. I am not sure if pork shoulder "butt" is the same as "pork shoulder". Could you please clarify regarding the cut of meat? Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow even for a relatively inexperienced cook like me.

Boy this is easy and tastes great. I used half cranberries and half golden raisins and cran-apple juice as I did not have cranberry juice. Really liked it alot and definitely will make again. The sauce was great over stuffing....

This was really good and tasty- served it with stuffing as a side. Did not look as pretty as the picture, but, was big hit with family.
