I'm not a big fan of pork roast, but this recipe changed my mind. The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The pork was a little dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The pork was tough and dry, and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
