Fabulous!

That is the only way to describe this recipe. It was easy, few ingredients, and unbelievably tasty! I used turkish apricots as the fruit and carried the taste into orzo, terrific combo!

pork roast

This was the best ever. My family loves the way the fruit melds in with the meat and seasonings. I added fresh long carrots on the bottom of the crock pot then the onions. I have done this recipe twice in two weeks. It is now a family favorite!

This is a good recipe, but definately be careful not to overcook it! I did, and it was extremely dry, I would def. cook it th elower of 7 hours, maybe even less... I used the dried prunes, and was amazed at how great the mixture tasted over the pork!
