    Just ok. Easy recipe and meat came out tender and juicy. But all I could taste was garlic. Luckily I made a gravy which added enough flavor to make the meal acceptable. I probably will not make this recipe again, though

    So simple and Sooo good. My dinner guest and I loved this and the ultimate compliment is when they ask for more.

    I had no problem with liquid cooking off but did take advice of others in adding little chicken broth or bouillon in bottom of pan and used for basting during cooking. Agree with others that vinegar was best secret ingredient here.

    Roast was super tender and juicy and this was a cheaper cut, but turned out fantastic.

    This recipe is fantastic! The vinegar addition is just a superb idea...the roast was tender & absolutely delish! I added sliced apples, potatoes & onions to the roasting pan & cooked this at a higher temp than was suggested, 375 did the trick for me. Kudos to the peep who invented this dish, bravo!!

    This was very easy! I didn't use the bay leaves, but it was still very tasty! I put spices on, then browned all sides (very cheap cut! before I put it in the oven. Some people said that the liquid was used up quickly, so I put a little water and chicken bullion in bottom of pan. I used apple cider vinegar, and it was good. If possible, I think putting it in a slow cooking oven would be good. This did turn out, almost falling apart, but it was a little dry. I just used the juices from the bottom of the pan to coat the pieces. Really good! Would absolutely do this again!! (it looks like it says that I am 77! LOL! Ah, no!!

    Just as everyone said, flavorful, moist and I loved that it had everything I had in my pantry. Next time I might try the apple cider vinegar.

    Tasted great, and moist - I covered it with aluminum foil whilst convection baking it, and also basted it a few times. We used a 2lb loin roast (roll - I browned it first with Janes Crazy Mixed Up Salt and oiled it first before putting janes on it....

    I halved the recipe, but used both cloves and all four bay leaves. I had fresh Thyme, so I used many sprigs of that as well.

    YUM.

    I liked this recipe, however I added to it by taking some MacIntosh apples that I had in my fridge, and they were just starting to turn a little mealy- so not great for eating due to the loss of snap. I sliced them up and put them on top of the pork roast before I put the roast in the oven. It added a nice touch to the taste of the pork.

    This was good, but it wasn't overly flavorful. The vinegar began to dry on my pan and I had to add more, and there was a reaction between the garlic and the vinegar (the garlic stuffed into the meat turned greenish-blue, and I looked it up online to see why. It was good, but the color of the garlic was a turn off. Luckily I wasn't serving it to company or I would have been embarrassed.

    I fixed this pork roast for the 1st time tonight and it was excellent and easy. I did not have plain white vinegar so I used applie cider vinegar instead and it still was great. This recipe is a real keeper.

    Wanted to find a recipe for roast pork with things I already had in my pantry. Found this one, read the other reviews and decided to try it. It is the simplist pork roast recipe out there, and it came out so moist, and flavorful. No taste of vinegar whatsoever, but i'm sure the acidity of the vinegar is what makes the roast so moist, and juicy. I will definately make this recipe again!
