I used vegetable oil and I also had dried pitted purple plums. I stuck the whole cloves in the top of the roast. I kept the roast warm, poured the juice and fruit through a colandar to serve separately from the roast. I put the juice in a container in the freezer to have the fat rise to the top to skim off. If I make again I would put the spices and the fruit with a little water in a sauce pan and heat to simmer and let the spices penetrate the fruit.Then pour over the roast and in the pan. I would still brown the onions and roast and use the Dr.Pepper.The sauce was good but I like it more flavorable and I think by putting the spices in a saucepan with other ingredients it would give it that extra flavor.
