The Mafia Cookbook's Mandarin Pork Roast image

I am not the type to mix my food. I want my sweet tastes with the sweets and the salty with the salty stuff. David, on the other hand, has no problem with it at all--in fact, loves it. This recipe is the ONLY thing I'll eat that mixes flavors, so that should tell you just how YUMMY it really is. Enjoy! By Joseph "Joe Dogs" Iannuzzi, 2003.
