This recipe makes for a very nice meal (or 2 or 3, especially for just the 2 of us)! I did use a slightly larger roast than the 3-lb one suggested, but other than that . . . We enjoyed the combo of flavors from the fruits & mustard, & will admit that I even included the red pepper! Very tasty, very easy to prepare, & very much a keeper of a recipe!
