  1. This is one of my favorite ways to cook pork now. I use apple juice instead of the soy sauce. We don't eat soy. But it turns out well.
     
  2. A neighbor couple were in a bind for a main course for today's meal, so I offered to make this for them ~ BIG, BIG HIT, it was, too! The combo of those seeds really did a GREAT TASTING number on the roast, & it's something I want to repeat for my own dinner party another time! Really a wonderful recipe!
