This is a great, easy, and delicious roast. The flavor starts out on the sweet side until the cayanne kicks in...wow!!! My poor DH was taste challenged on this one...lol, as were our guests. In the end they all raved. Next time I make this though I will be cutting the cayanne down to 1/4 tsp instead, as it was a bit too much for my tummy during the night. Thank You for sharing this recipe.
