    I'm not sure how some of those who gave this a bad review could do so. This is an excellent recipe and I have made it several times. It is definitely a family favorite especially when served with garlic mashed potatoes. If your roast was dry it is possible that you didn't season it properly before browning it.

    This was a hit! Easy to prepare and delicious over the mashed potatoes as recommended. I substituted a can of apricot pie filling for the dried apricots and it was moist and juicy. I'll definately make this again.

    Cooked mine in the oven at 300 degrees for five hours. This is my mom's recipe. Poke holes in the pork sirloin roast and insert garlic pieces in each hole. I made a butter garlic compote with onion powder, salt, and pepper mixed in. Then poked that into the holes. Poured two cans of Dr. Pepper in the pan, although one would have done the job. Then I sprinkled a packaged of onion soup mix onto the top of the roast with salt & pepper. For the gravy I mixed two tablespoons of corn starch with water & tablespoon of flour. Then mix it into the pan drippings and bring to a boil. Simmer until it thickens. That's it and my goodness it was tender & delicious. Served with a side of carrots and baked potato.

    It was just ok. Meat was tender, but not much flavor. Won't be making it again.

    I happened to see Sandra's show the other day and was intrigued by this recipe. I rarely ever cook pork, but I thought this recipe sounded delicious due to the addition of spices and apricots and prunes.............plus, I've never cooked anything in which I had to add a cola. I was willing to give it a try. I missed the part in which Sandra said to use Dr. Pepper.........I ended up using a plain old Classic Coke. The pork turned out absolutely unbelievable! So tender, moist, and full of flavor. My husband and mother and niece raved about it. Next time I'll use a Dr. Pepper and see if there's a big change in flavor. But using the Coke seemed to work very well. I took all the juices with the onions and fruit and blended them together, added a bit of flour, and thickened on top of the stove. This made an awesome grave to ladle over the meat and whipped potatoes. This is the first recipe of Sandra's that I've ever tried. A true winner!! Will definitely make again..........probably MANY times!!

    Wow, this was a big hit at dinner. So good! I used the high setting so the Pork Loin cooked fast, it was super moist and so flavorful. It was so delicious even my very finicky 5-year-old twins loved it. I did not have whole cloves so I just sprinkled ground cloves. We used just buttered mash potatoes for our side. Ignore the bad reviews, this is must try recipe. I will definitely make this again, especially for company. A great fall and winter comfort food meal! And your house will smell great!

    Wow---after reading all of the comments, I am just baffled! My pork was tender, the sauce was heavenly and my family savored every bite with their eyes closed, smiling! I used different dried fruits, though. Apricots, dried tart cherries and dates (found at Trader Joe's in one easy package!. Do make sure you chop up the fruits a bit, if you don't like large pieces of fruit with your meat. The onions and friut make for a perfect combination. I'm making this again and again, people!!!!!
