Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Roast

This was truly a fabulous pork roast: juicy, tender and flavorful. My husband raved and raved about it, and he generally isn't a big fan of pork. I used Splenda instead of sugar, Balsamic instead of red wine vinegar, added chicken bouillon to the water and used reduced-sodium soy sauce. I also skipped the added salt as well as the hot sauce. I used plenty of sliced onions--probably about 2 medium/large total--and added about 3 tsp. of minced garlic to the onion, as well as about a tsp. of garlic powder to the liquid mixture. I pierced the roast multiple times with a sharp knife before pouring the mixture over it, and cooked it on high for 1 hour and on low for 5 more hours. It was PERFECT. Simple, quick-to-assemble and delicious recipe. I already have shared it once with a friend, and we just had it yesterday! Thanks for sharing. I know it will be a favorite in this house!

This is great! I made 1 change - used Splenda Granular for the sugar. I also upped the hot sauce as you suggested. A real winner! Thanks!

My husband and I had picked up a pork loin roast on sale and had no idea what to do with it. We invited a few friends over and made this recipe. It was a big hit. It was easy to prep, smelled delicious and tasted even better than it smelled. We served it with some red bliss mashed potatos and steamed green beans. We also paired it with a nice bottle of chardonnay.

"This is a winning recipe"! Easy to put together. DH loved it and said so - me too! We love garlic and I did add 3 diced cloves of garlic to the onions. Instead of water, I used chicken broth. (I wanted to use an open container) Other than that I followed the recipe to the letter. When the roast was done, I put the roast and juice in the fridge overnight and skimmed the fat the next day. (More healthy) After I skimmed the fat from the juice, I used some of the juice & some chicken broth to steam cabbage for a side dish. I heated the pork and thickened the remaining juice, with cornstarch, for a gravy. I added baked patatoes and had a wonderful supper. The pork was juicy, tender, and, with the awsome tastey gravy, cabbage and patatoes. It was a "to die for" meal! This is a keeper forever. Thank you Kelly

Thank you for sharing your lovely recipe wife2abadge. The pork was wonderful, tender, moist and juicy with a nice tangy flavor. It made wonderful sandwiches, that will be enjoyed again. Cooked in the slow cooker for 6 hours. Made for Name That Ingredient Tag Game.
