Slow Cooked Savory Pork Roast

Being a rainy Sunday, I decided to put my trusty slow cooker to use.  I had a 1 1/2 pound boneless pork loin roast so here we go!  The result was a fork tender roast with a sweet & tangy zing.  It was perfect served with a side salad, garden tomatoes, and squash & corn gratin.  Hubby declared it a keeper!

1 1/12 to 2 pound boneless pork loin roast

1 large onion

½ cup water

1/8 cup Splenda (or 1/4 cup sugar)

2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)

1 Tablespoon soy sauce

1 Tablespoon ketchup,

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Peel and slice onion.  Place in bottom of slow cooker that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Pierce roast with fork on fatty side & sprinkle with salt & pepper.  Place the roast on top of the onions, fat side up.

Whisk together water, Splenda, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and salt & pepper.  Pour over the roast.

Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours.
