Roast Pork With Cherry Sauce

"I found this recipe in a weekly magazine that comes with our newspaper. I am not a big meat eater, but I figured that matching the pork with the cherries was a good mix and boy was I right. I hope you enjoy this as much as my husband and I did! The cherry sauce did call for putting in 12 whole cloves when you are simmering it with the sugar and cinnamon, and then removing them. I did not do this as I don't like cloves."

  1. My father-in-law made this for a holiday a couple of years ago, and it was soooo tasty. Everyone loved it. There was a stuffing recipe in that same newspaper insert--wish we had that too. We lost the insert, so what a treat to find the recipe on RecipeZaar!
     
  2. I love this recipe! I have made it as suggested and also by not using as much cornstarch to thicken. I prefer the less-thickened sauce--it soaks into the meat better.
