I like using the slow cooker for our meals because it gives me time for other preparations, frees the oven, and it usually doesn't matter if you serve it later than planned. The fruit in this recipe, which I adapted, gives the pork a special flavor. Ingredients:
1/2 medium lemon, sliced |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1/3 cup golden raisins |
1/3 cup unsweetened apple juice |
3 tablespoons sherry or additional unsweetened apple juice |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |
1 boneless pork loin roast (3 pounds) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 medium apple, peeled and sliced |
1/2 cup packed fresh parsley sprigs |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; set aside. Cut roast in half; sprinkle with salt, pepper and ginger.
2. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Pour fruit mixture over roast. Place apple and parsley around roast. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender.
3. Transfer meat to a serving platter. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Yield: 8 servings.
