Here is a couple of easy Slow Cooker recipes for Susie Indy, as she requested in the March 7th newsletter. I have many more favorites, that I'll eventually share. Sorry you've been having health issues, Susie, and hope you will start to feel better soon!

Teriyaki Pork Roast

1 can (6 oz.) apple juice (3/4 cup)
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 lean boneless pork rolled loin roast (about 2-3/4 lb.)
3 tbsp. cold water
1-1/2 tbsp. cornstarch

1. In slow cooker, mix apple juice, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic powder and pepper. Add roast, turning to coat. Turn fat side up.
2. Cover and cook on high for 3-1/2 to 4 hours, or on low for 7 to 8 hours, or until roast is very tender.
3. Transfer meat to a warm platter. Cover and keep warm.
4. Strain cooking liquid and place in a small saucepan (you will have about 1-2/3 cups). Skim off fat, if desired. Over medium heat, bring to a boil.
5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch until smooth.

Stir into the boiling liquid. Stirring, bring to a boil and boil for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, or until thickened. Serve sauce separately. We like it over steamed rice.
Makes 8 servings.

Note: Sometimes I don't bother to thicken the juices. It is our favorite way to prepare a pork roast, and makes wonderful sandwiches when cold too.
