ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (4 lb) pork loin roast, rolled and tied
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 ¹⁄₂ cups coarsely chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped (with 1 tsp adobo)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup orange marmalade
¹⁄₄ cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
4 navel oranges, thinly sliced, for garnishing

directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.
Sprinkle the roast evenly with the salt and pepper and add to the skillet.
Brown on all sides and transfer the insert of a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker.
Add the onion, garlic, chilies, and cumin to the same skillet and sauté until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the marmalade, orange juice, and lime juice and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Transfer the contents of the skillet to the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or LOW for 8-10 hours, until the roast is tender.
Remove the roast from the cooker, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 15-20 minutes.
Taste the sauce for seasoning and adjust, if needed.
Slice the meat and strain the sauce.
Serve the roast napped with some of the sauce, garnished with orange slices and additional sauce on the side.
