I have made this twice following the recipe precisely. It's funny because the amount of seasonings used doesn't seem like enough to make a difference and the liquid mixture don't taste very good, but after the pork is cooked the flavors really come through! The pork is to die for and the gravy is awesome! Thanks for posting this recipe.

Very easy to do. I browned the pork roast first and added it to the crockpot. Be sure that you do not use a huge crockpot with this recipe. We liked the orange sauce. Made for Photo Tag.
