     Instead of cranberry cocktail, I added more liquid (mostly wine) and put in a cup of dried cranberries. Fresh would work as well. Very savoury. I used reg. soy sauce. 12 hours definitely too long--will try 4-5 next time. - 3/16/13

     I was hesitant to try a different roast recipe because I love my roast just the way I've always made it, but this was scrumptious and I will be making it again! - 9/7/10

     Sounds very good will love to try it. The cut of meat depends how long you cook it. - 10/7/15

     My husband and I enjoyed this tonight for dinner. We just added a salad and it was good. I am beginning to think meat in the crockpot is always overcooked when you cook it all day. At first we thought too many onions. With the gravy it was just right. - 12/4/12

     hey I enjoyed the recipe and really enjoyed making it, given the size of my roast I used the recipe makeover to find out amounts and eventually noticed that when it was entered it said .4 pounds of meat in the alteration area. Great flavor, wonderful taste. - 6/27/12

     Love it! No bland roast here! I use the low sodium soy sauce the 2nd time around. Onions don't agree with me too much, although I like the flavor and health benefits of them. I cooked with them, but removed them after a couple of hours. It was wonderful, and even more tender the 2nd day. - 1/22/12

     AMAZING! My husband loved it, I loved it. It was a great change from the usual roast! - 1/6/12

     Great. My husband does not like onions, so I just made sure when he came home his plate was prepared without onions. He loved the roast. Everyone else enjoyed the onions. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing. Elaine - 11/27/11

     Great recipe, my family loved it. I added the zest of orange and lime to the cranberry. Worked a treat. - 2/20/11

     It's okay. I accidentally marinated it too long. - 2/5/11
  • LCFAHEY
     I will definitely make this again. I added a little Port when thickening the sauce for gravy. Wonderful! - 1/14/11

     This was awesome! Absolutely full of flavor! My family raved about it which is quite a lot to say... my 55 year old dad down to my "picky eater" 9 year old. - 1/6/11
