Excellent recipe! We loved the combination of apples and ginger and the meat tasted delicious. I used fresh ginger and inserted pieces just like I did with the garlic cloves. Yummy!

    Excellent flavor! I used Chinese 5 Spice instead of the ground ginger and cloves because I wanted a little more flavor.! I also poured the onions, apples and juice through a colandar so it would be easier to make the gravy. My crockpot took 6 hours to cook.

    WOW, great pot roast!! I happened to have some fresh ginger in, so I used it instead of powder, Used about a 3 lb blade roast, without bone. wonderful combination of flavours, we especially enjoyed the apples/onions, oh, nummy and of course the apple juice a great flavour, making the gravey outstanding. We saturated out garlic mashed potatoes with it!! BTW, it only took about 7 hours in my crockpot. Looking forward to the left overs for tomorrow's dinner. Thanks for sharing!!

    This roast was awesome. Very easy to prepare and great for a cold Wisonsin winter day. The gravy is to die for! The only modification I had to make was to replace the ginger with one ground up ginger snap as I was out of ginger and didn't feel like running o the store. It must have worked because the roast was delicious!!
