    Used tamari instead soy sauce to make it gluten free. - 7/25/12

    Wow! This was delicious! I will definitely make it again. My husband really loved it and my daughter, who's not a big meat eater, ate 2 helpings. I think next time I'll double the pineapple, but it is wonderful as is. - 3/11/11

    Made this yesterday & will definitely make again. Hubby liked it a lot. I didn't have oranges so I added a little extra pineapple. That worked fine; but, would like to try again with the oranges - 3/13/17

    What did I do wrong? Everyone gave this a lot of stars and I'm siting over here wondering what this bitter, tragedy of food is on my plate. I want to give this a lot of stars because it smelled and looked good, but instead I can't because it tasted so bad... - 8/19/15

    Calories look high because if you are dividing 3 lbs of pork roast into 6 servings, 1/2 pound of meat a piece! So do a makeover and get the portion size about 3-4 oz of meat/serving. Mine is in the slow cooker now! (Made mine with actual cloves- good with pork.) - 3/14/13

    Wasn't a big fan. Mushy & irregular taste. Since it was so tender we were able to bbq sauce on it and still enjoy it though. - 2/28/13
