Sorry, but I have to say that this is one of the worst recipes I have ever made! I had to make a different sauce and marinate the cooked pork over night to change the taste. Husband went out and bought a pizza for our dinner. I consider myself a very good cook and just wanted to try something different.

Awesome dinner; it was a huge hit with everyone. The kids said "keeper recipe, Mom!"
Prepared exactly as posted and it was perfect. I would not change a thing. Thank you for posting.

Made this for a pot-luck at work, everyone liked it. The people nearby who weren't part of the pot-luck were most unhappy - great smell all day but they didn't get to come eat with us. Oops, told them next time I'll make more and keep some back for them.
Thanks Sage!!
