Heart Breaker Roast
"I got this from a MFK Fisher book. Don't be scared of the "Prunes". If they don't disintegrate in the sauce, I always strain out the chunks before I make the sauce. But the flavor will keep your hubby coming back for more!"

This is fantastic. The sauce is more sweet than savory, but our family really loved it. I used balsamic vinegar instead of the cider but otherwise kept to the recipe. -
This was just to the max wonderful. Wasn't too sure about the prunes, but it turned out to be delicious. Would not change a thing! Thanx for posting Erin.
