Roast Pork With Cherry Sauce image

I found this recipe in a weekly magazine that comes with our newspaper. I am not a big meat eater, but I figured that matching the pork with the cherries was a good mix and boy was I right. I hope you enjoy this as much as my husband and I did! The cherry sauce did call for putting in 12 whole cloves when you are simmering it with the sugar and cinnamon, and then removing them. I did not do this as I don't like cloves.
