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.
