Very good! The cloves are such a nice touch! My only change was I subbed the thyme & sage for poultry seasoning, and added some lemon juice to the water since I had no rind. My only complaint is this is so salty. Pork is salty enough as it is, and I should have known not to add any more to it as I never do. Next time, no salt. Thanks!

Made this the other night. Used lemon pepper and granulated garlic in place of lemons and garlic cloves, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. VERY flavorful, and baboo loved it. I thought that the cloves were a little intense, so the next time that we make this (and we will) they will be reduced slightly.

This was excellent! I made this today, with the following changes: I used white wine instead of water, and put two sprigs of fresh rosemary under the roast and one on top and cooked it in a heavy casserole pot on the stove top rather than in a slow cooker for about 3 hours. About half way through I added several thick slices of onion, two roma tomatoes with the stem cut out, and a carrot julienned. The lemon and the clove were an unusual and perfect addition!
