My Family Hated this Pork

User: Sandy from Lemur, NE User Rating:
My family hated the fruit in the sauce. Well, they basically hated everything about this recipe. The fruit, the pop in the sauce, the meat being very overcooked. And we are a family of pork lovers, too. Snadra Lee has many other pork recipes which are much better than this one.
The Worst Pork Roast I've Ever Made

I was expecting something "different" and wonderful, but what I ended up with was dry, stringly tasteless pork in a thin greasy sauce. Just awful.
Not Good

The sauce was sweet and unpleasant. I wouldn't make it using Dr. Pepper again. Just had a very odd taste. I agree that the pork was very dry, but it cooked so long that it fell apart. Would have been pretty good if it was soaked in a decent sauce, but as it was I ended up throwing a ton of it away.

This is the best recipe for pork roast that I have ever tried. And I have tried 100s. Sounds so strange, but give it a try.
DISAPPOINTING ROAST

The pork doesn't taste the least bit "peppery." That miffed us a lot. Plus it was dry and stringy. My SIL told me later never to cook a pork tenderloin in a crock pot or it will dry out. I wonder if anyone reviews these recipes.
DRY!

My family loved this recipe. The only thing i altered was the cooking time after reading previous reviews. I cut time time down by 1/2 hr. Other than that i thought it was tasty and very flavorful.
not pepper pork

if you must make this and wish to have a peppery dish, use a tsp or two of pepper and ginger ale and omit prunes. Adjust cloves and garlic to taste.
Dry and Overcooked Pork

The pork was dry and dreadfully overcooked -- so overcooked it basically fell apart. The sauce was too sweet.

I was so looking forward to trying recipe with ingredients i am not used to cooking with. It was nauseating. The meat was very tender, but i couldn't get near the sauce, nor could m husband.
Tender but Dry

I made this for my husband and myself and while the meat was tender it was very dry and I had to use gravy to save it. Needless to say this won't make it into my recipe book.
Not what I expected

Wow. I am surprised at how delicious this is! First of all, I used coke not Dr. Pepper and added a pinch of thyme. It made my house smell unbelievable all afternoon and was amazing! I served it with steamed carrot slices and curry rice. My husband nearly died. Very pleased Sandra. Good recipe!
sooooooooo easy

Again, not a GREAT fan of Sandra's, but this really got my attention. I didn't change a thing..Dr.Pepper and all (the person who thinks Pepsi is less sweet.....hmmmm). My only problem was that the pork was basically shreddable after 7 hours in the slow cooker. No way to slice it. But yummers if you like dried fruit and cinnamon and cloves. I plan to use the leftover shredded pork for fajitas and (per suggestion) get some chicken tenders and use up the sauce.
TERRIBLE

In her cookbook it is titled Dr. pepper pork roast. Cut down on the cooking time or your roast will overcook. I also use an immersion blender to blend so of the juices, onions and fruit to make a great gravy. I have severed this recipe at work and home and everyone loves it.
Disappointing

I made the recipe just as it says - even turned it once or twice to get it all in the sauce. It was way too dry and not enough flavor in the meat itself.
Fantastic

This was a great and easy recipe. The only changes I made was to use only 3 cloves and I added 1 clove of garlic and omitted the prunes. I also only used 1/2/ can of the soda. My guests loved it and even took some home with them.
Loved it!

no "peppery" to it I guess Sondra doesn't know Dr Pepper (the soft drink) is sweet, NOT peppery
Very Unpleasant

We are a family of pork eaters so I am always looking for new and exciting ways to serve it. This looked really interesting, so we tried it on Sunday. Overall, I'd say it was very disappointing. The meat was dry and the sauce was unpleasantly sweet and decidedly not peppery. Not at all what we expected. We won't make it again.
This was easy and yummy!

After reading the poor reviews, I was skeptical about trying this. I didn't want it too sweet (as many reviews stated) so I only used half a can of Dr. Pepper. I left everything else the same. It was really good! Not too sweet, very tender, and a great flavor! It was super easy to make too. So give it a chance!
Excellent

This is the only recipe of Sandra's that I have tried and found it to be easy to prepare and very tasty to eat. Plus, it was a great way to use up some dried fruits in my pantry from other meals. The pork came out tender, the fruits and onions were soft and good, and overall it was a very good Sunday night meal.

After reading the reviews and watching the show one more time to see for myself just what she was putting in( it is Dr.Pepper) I decided to make a few minor changes when preparing this myself. Dr.Pepper is a very sweet soda so I changed to Pepsi. I only used 1 cup of it and then added a half a cup of water. I used the onions and the dried fruits as written but when it came to the spices I omitted the cloves as I don't like them and added just a pinch of nutmeg. I also added two cloves of garlic to balance out the sweetness a little. Everything else was done according to directions and let me say this turned out to be a crowd pleaser! Everyone loved it.
Just to be on the safe side

I made this without the Dr. Pepper because I heard that pouring soda pop on a raw piece of pork will cause worms to come crawling out of the meat. It came out pretty dry. Maybe I should have used the pop?
My family LOVED this!

After watching the show Saturday I couldn't wait to make this and even though the ingredients were to say the least odd, the combination was terrific. Tonight I am taking the leftovers, adding a little BBQ sauce and making sandwiches. Give it a try, make your own judgment, as for me I will be making this one again!

Dr Pepper for a meat sauce? This was just awful and way too sweet.
Better as Bread Pudding

With the pop and the fruit and the spices this tasted more like a dessert than an entree. Would probably make a good bread pudding but as a main dish it was nauseating.
MUCH TOO SWEET

User: Bea from Manhattan, KS User Rating:
The pork was much too sweet and not one bit peppery. Dr. Pepper doesn't taste like pepper -- it's just a cute name for a sweet soft drink. The roast also looked like liver and onions when it was served, so make sure your family doesn't think you're serving THAT to them.
