Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork Roast

This is a very flavorful way to prepare a pork roast. The juices and sauce that the pork cooks in all day are then thickened and served with the meat to further enhance the flavor of the meat. Rice goes beautifully alongside the pork for this Asian-style meal. Blessings...

Recipe:

3/4 cup unsweetened apple juice (pineapple juice would also work well)
2 tbsps. brown sugar or honey
2 tbsps. soy sauce
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 boneless pork loin roast (about 3 lbs.), halved, unless you have a large enough slow cooker
8 tsps. cornstarch
3 tbsps. cold water
cooked rice

1. Combine the first seven ingredients in slow cooker. Add roast and turn to coat. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until a thermometer inserted into the roast reads 160 degrees.
2. Remove roast and keep warm.
3. In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir in cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve sauce over pork and rice.
