This recipe was a miss for me. The pork roast was undercooked and the sauce was too spicy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

The pork roast was a bit bland and the sauce was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This pork roast was okay, but not great. The meat was a bit dry and the sauce was too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The pork roast was tough and the sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork roast turned out terrible. The meat was overcooked and the sauce was watery. Very disappointed.

I've tried many pork roast recipes, but this one is by far the best. The marinade infuses the meat with so much flavor, and the cooking method ensures that it's cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!
