Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Salt and pepper the roast, set it on a rack in a roasting pan.
Roast at 325 degrees F for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer shows 175 degrees F at the center of the roast.
Meanwhile mix the canned sauce, orange juice, onion, and spices in a stainless saucepan. Bring to a boil for a minute and then take it off the burner.
