Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Dried orange peel can be used in place of fresh orange peel. Look for dried peel near the seasonings at the grocery store.
  • tip 2
    Raisins can be used in place of the dried cranberries in this roast, but will impart a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • tip 3
    Steamed green beans and a mixed rice pilaf go well with this pork roast. Complete the meal with warm rolls and milk.
