Tips & Techniques

  • Tips

Boy this sounds great...will have to check with the DH.....he doesn't care for pineapple in meat dishes... Hope that he will go for it at least one time to give it a chance. I agree with the posts I will definately add liquid, I may use salt free beef broth. I don't want to make it salty with broth. This would be great made with chicken as chicken always goes great with chicken!

I added some water to the beginning when you put the pork in the roaster - seemed weird to me to put meat in a cooker without any liquid! Turned out great! :)
