Is truly superior
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Prepared this yesterday with an 8-finger, 6-pound roast. Is unbelievably beautiful, delicious, and easy to do. Three... changes: The searing and onions easily take 1 3/4 hours to accomplish well on their own in a home kitchen (and, even though our roast was larger, we used the same amount of ingredients as above for the compote). Correct timing for different sized roasts is not 20 minutes per pound. Check at 40 minutes and scale back the temp and time. Ours took 40 minutes at 350? and 30 minutes (after rotating the roaster in the oven) at 300? to reach 150? internal temperature. After the first 40 minutes, we added only about half of the remaining compote and were delighted with the results. Served with creamed peas and new potatoes and a just-picked, fresh garden salad. Excellent!Read more

Roasted rack of pork with caramalized onions
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Had this for Christmas dinner. It was fantastic. As an earlier post stated, the onions did take a while, but they were... exquisite. This was the best pork roast I have had. I also had it with garlic mashed red potatoes and a nice romaine salad topped with olive oil, balsamic, walnuts, and blue cheese. Everything went remarkably well together.Read more
