Loved this recipe. I added extra smoked garlic cloves and some five-spice powder. Deee-licious! Thanks for posting. mb -
This was sooo good. My husband who says he hates pineapple devoured it. I didn't use the green pepper or the crushed pineapple - just the juice. Definitely a keeper! -
This was fantastic! I left out the green pepper because I don't like it. I also didn't make the sauce to pour on the cooked roast, but it was still had amazing flavor.

Just a new mom and recent wife, trying to learn my way around a kitchen. Seems like I should have learned all these things growing up, but I missed it somehow. In particular, I want to learn how to make kitchen staples like breads and muffins, so I don't have to depend on store-bought anymore.
