We go in all kinds of weather with the exception of rain.
Wintertime I like to put a beef or pork roast in the oven before we head out, on our arrival back we are delighted with the most wonderful aroma as we open the door. I even have put them in frozen!
For this recipe you can use just about any cut of pork roast, boneless or bone in loin, shoulder or sirloin end.
Using a citrus reamer will ensure you get the most juice and pulp from the orange.
It is easy to assemble and tastes like you have been hovering over it all day instead of enjoying a beautiful winters walk in the forest.
Simplicity at best!
