"This looks like a long recipe, but it's very easy to make and absolutely Incredible in flavour. I usually have everything but the pork and rosemary on hand. My MIL always made this for X-mas and I finally asked for the recipe. She said she got it from a magazine, but I'm not sure which one. I don't normally have Port on hand so I always have used H2O."

This was DELICIOUS. Since I was very busy yesterday, I put this in the crockpot. I put the roast in,dumped ALL of the ingredients on top, and left it cooking for 8 hours. We came home to a wonderful, TENDER roast.Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC,2011.
