"This is a winning recipe"! Easy to put together. DH loved it and said so - me too! We love garlic and I did add 3 diced cloves of garlic to the onions. Instead of water, I used chicken broth. (I wanted to use an open container) Other than that I followed the recipe to the letter. When the roast was done, I put the roast and juice in the fridge overnight and skimmed the fat the next day. (More healthy) After I skimmed the fat from the juice, I used some of the juice & some chicken broth to steam cabbage for a side dish. I heated the pork and thickened the remaining juice, with cornstarch, for a gravy. I added baked patatoes and had a wonderful supper. The pork was juicy, tender, and, with the awsome tastey gravy, cabbage and patatoes. It was a "to die for" meal! This is a keeper forever. Thank you Kelly

This is great! I made 1 change - used Splenda Granular for the sugar. I also upped the hot sauce as you suggested. A real winner! Thanks!
