Marbree’s Review:
Tried it last night. Definitely delicious! And the flavor was subtle but just right. Sometimes citrus and/or balsamic can be overpowering, but this recipe was just a nice hint of the flavors and some really tender meat. Also, I got a 3-lb roast and about 8 red potatoes and barely fit into my oval, 4-qt slow cooker on Low for 10 hours. It was enough for 5 adults and 2 kindergarteners. If you go with a larger roast like the recipe suggests or need more potatoes, use larger crockpot. Also, I think you could prep this meal and freeze it in a gallon bag before cooking, then thaw thoroughly and put in crockpot. I am going to experiment next time.
