I set it up the night before - as I generally do with most of my crockpot things.
When we sat down to eat it - Andy said - "Did you cook this on high?" Um... no... Sure I could see why he thought that - it did look a tad dark. Guess that's what happens when you cook something for 11 hours in soy sauce. I was afraid this was going to be a salt lick - but it wasn't. Sure it was a touch dry, but the flavor was very good. I dunk most of my pork in applesauce so if it's a little dry - eh, that's OK. Also, the cooking liquid was a good sauce to pour over the meat if you really needed some relief.
So now... back to doing all the things, all.the.things. Ugh. It's cool - we can do hard things and lots of things. Someday there will be fewer things to do - I hope.
Slow Cooker Pork Roast
1 3-4 lb pork roast
1 cup broth
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 TBSP honey
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp cornstarch
Place roast in slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients (except cornstarch) in a 2-cup measuring cup. Whisk together and pour over roast.
Cook on low 10-12 hours for that fall-apart, insanely tender type of meat. (Or on high 6-8 hours.)
Prior to serving, ladle out about 1/4 cup of the juice in the crockpot and strain into a measuring cup.
Whisk in 2 tsp cornstarch. Add in enough juice to make 1 cup.
Microwave on high for 30 seconds and whisk again. Drizzle sauce over meat prior to serving.
