  1. This was awesome, i didn't have arrow root so i just omitted it. It was still great.
     
  2. I've made this 3 times so far, love it!
     
  3. WOW! This deserves 10 STARS! Love the caraway. And the gravy is delicious. Cooked perfectly and the house smelled great while it was cooking. Will be having this again! Made for Best of 2011 game.
     
  4. This was wonderful. We really enjoyed the great flavor of the roast and how fork-tender it was after coming out of the crock pot. The caraway and marjoram really gave it a nice German flair, too. And the creamy, flavorful gravy was a nice way to top it all off. This is something we'll enjoy often. Thanks for sharing your recipe, half yank. Made for Fall 2011 Pick-A-Chef.
