This was very good. I did adapt it by putting it in the crockpot, but did not change a thing otherwise. My children loved the "applesauce" as they put it. Definately will make again. -
This was really easy to make. And the sauce was absolutely wonderful! Everyone commented how good the sauce was and my friend wanted the recipe! I just didn't know what to do with the water in roasting, so I omitted it. Next time, I would also use all dry ingredients - i.e. 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Because of the wet ingredient, it was tricky to rub the seasoning evenly all over the roast. Thank you for the keeper!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
