Maple-Baked Pork Loin Roast
This is a great pork loin recipe. Don't let the ingredients scare you — they taste really great when combined. The pork is so moist and tender, it will fall apart when you cut it. Everyone who has tried it so far loves it. It's my husband's favorite and very easy to make.
Best Sweet and Sour Brisket
This is the best brisket you will ever taste! No matter who comes for dinner, they always make sure that I'll be making this brisket. It is a very traditional dish for Rosh Hashanah and Passover but it certainly is a winner any time of the year for anyone who loves very tender beef.
