directions

  • Layer the onion slices on the bottom of the slow-cooker.
  • Generously salt and pepper the pork roast on both sides, then place the seasoned roast on top of the layer of onions.
  • Dump the can of fruit on top of the roast.
  • Pour the soup and the chicken broth over all.
  • Cover and cook on low at least 6 hours.
  • Remove roast from slow-cooker to cutting board and let rest.
  • Combine the cornstarch and water and whisk until smooth.
  • Stir cornstarch mixture into the sauce in the slow-cooker.
  • With a potato masher, lightly mash the fruit and onions in the broth, leaving some large chunks (If you don't like texture, you can use an immersion blender in this step for a smoother result).
  • With two forks, shred the pork and return to slow-cooker.
  • Add salt and pepper, to taste; stir and cover.
  • Cook on high for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Serve over rice, with sugar snap peas or broccoli.

I'm an Arkansas native but spent my teen-aged years in Memphis. I have four grown sons and 12 grandchildren. I currently live in Chattanooga, TN and cook mainly for just two, which has been quite an adjustment!
