This was so good. I never thought of combining barbecue sauce with thyme. I used my home made BBQ sauce. I cooked it in the dutch oven and it turned out perfect. It's a keeper.

Very good stuff. I'm not sure what the prunes did for it, but it went well all together. It was nice and sweet, but not a candy like sweetness. I added some black pepper to suit my own tastes. I used granny smith apples because I like a crisper apple. Made and reviewed for Every Day Holiday Tag - Thanks! :)

The pork roast was wonderful Syd, we enjoyed it very much. The roast was quick and easy to prepare and was perfectly cooked, producing a nice tender pork roast nestled in a very flavourful, savoury and fruity sauce.

Delicious and tender. A perfectly seasoned pork roast. I used the Kraft Sweet Recipes Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce. It is a really tasty sauce. Served it with recipe #113532. The cabbage and noodles went really well with the pork roast.
