Ingredients:

• 3-4 pound pork loin roast
• 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tablespoon minced ginger
• 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup lemon-lime soda
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 4 ½ Tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 ½ teaspoons black pepper
• 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 Tablespoons cold water
• fresh chopped parsley, for garnish ((optional))

Instruction:

1. Place the 3-4 pound pork loin roast, fat side up in the bottom of a slow cooker, set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter and add 1 small onion, thinly sliced. Cook until translucent, about 5-8 minutes. Add 6 cloves garlic, minced and 1 Tablespoon minced ginger, cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Pour this over the roast.
3. Whisk together 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar, 1 cup lemon-lime soda, 1 cup white vinegar, 4 ½ Tablespoons soy sauce and 1 ½ teaspoons black pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Pour this on top of the roast.
4. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high 2-4 hours, I recommend slow cooking on low instead of on high if you have time. Pork is done when it is tender and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.
5. Take the roast out and set it on a serving platter to rest. Pour the sauce into the skillet from earlier or another large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
6. In a small bowl whisk together 3 Tablespoons cornstarch with 3 Tablespoons cold water until smooth. Slowly stream this into the sauce while whisking
7. constantly. Bring back to a simmer and simmer for 1 minute or until thickened. You can either pour the sauce on top of the roast or serve it on the side.
8. Slice or shred the pork roast and serve. Add optional fresh chopped parsley, for garnish.

I’ve included detailed instructions, tips, tricks and everything you need to know to make the BEST pork loin every time!

Prep: 90min

Total: 93min

Yield: 8

Ingredients:

• 3.5-5 pounds pork loin roast ( trimmed of excess fat (NOT pork tenderloin))
• 4 tablespoons butter (sliced into 4 pads)
• 6 cups warm water
• 1/2 cup kosher salt ((or 1/4 cup table salt))
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 1 TBS EACH chili powder, garlic powder
• 1 tsp EACH onion powder, paprika, salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup honey ((may sub pure maple syrup))
• 1/4 cup apricot preserves
• 3 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp EACH dried parsley, dried basil, dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp EACH dried oregano, dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instruction:

1. In an oven roasting bag (or grocery bag, whatever will fit pork) mix salt with warm water until dissolved. Whisk in brown sugar, vinegar, bay leaves and ice, then add pork. Brine pork in the refrigerator for 90 minutes up to 24 hours (90 minutes is long enough to work wonders!). RINSE pork very well and pat very dry.
2. Whisk together all of the Spice Mix ingredients in a small bowl. Evenly rub pork all over with spice mix; set aside.
3. Lightly grease 6 qt. or larger slow cooker. Add all of the sauce ingredients and whisk to combine; set aside.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When oil is very hot and just smoking, add pork loin (squeeze it in). Sear each side of the pork until golden, then transfer to prepared slow cooker.
5. Spoon sauce over pork then top with pads of butter. Cook on LOW for 2 – 4 hours (check early) until pork registers between 145- and 150-degrees F (63 and 65 degrees C) at the thickest part of the tenderloin. This means the pork will be juicy and slightly pink in the middle. Start checking the pork early, you don’t want to accidently overcook it. Smaller pork loins will take closer to 2 hours, larger pork loins will take closer to 3.5 hours.
6. Transfer cooked pork to a cutting board and tent with foil; let rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, drain all of the liquid into a medium saucepan. Whisk cornstarch with water then whisk into saucepan. Simmer until thickened. Taste and adjust to taste – additional honey for sweeter, orange juice for tangier.
7. Slice pork and serve with sauce and salt and pepper to taste.

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 of 10 servings, calories 305, Fat 19g, Saturated Fat 6g, Carbohydrate 5g, Fiber 0g, Sugar 1g, Protein 28g, Cholesterol 85mg, Sodium 529mg

Ingredients:

• One 3 1/2- to 4-pound pork loin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Instruction:

1. Trim the visible fat from the loin. If necessary, cut the roast to fit into a 3 1/2-, 4- or 5-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, ginger, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the entire surface of the loin.
2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium to medium-high heat and brown the loin slowly on all sides. Drain off the fat. Transfer the loin to the slow cooker. Combine the chicken broth, lemon juice and soy sauce in a small bowl; pour over the loin. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. When the roast is done, transfer the meat to a serving platter and cover to keep it warm.
3. To make the gravy, pour the juices from the slow cooker into a glass measuring cup. Skim off the fat. Measure 2 cups of liquid, adding water to the juices if necessary to make 2 cups. Transfer the juices to a saucepan, reserving 1/2 cup. Stir the cornstarch into the reserved 1/2 cup of juices until dissolved, then stir into the juices in the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the gravy is thickened and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the roast and serve it with the gravy.
