    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
