Ingredients
Scale
For the pork roast:
- 1 (2-3lb) pork loin roast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2c water
For the glaze:
- 1/2c brown sugar
- 1/2c water
- 1/4c balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce*
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
For the roast:
- Place roast in a slow cooker. Rub with salt, thyme, garlic powder, and pepper. Add 1/2c water around the edges (so you don’t pour off the rub you just put on the pork). Cook on low 6-8 hours, or until pull-apart tender. During the last 30 minutes or so of cooking, prepare glaze.
For the glaze:
- Combine brown sugar, water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce (or tamari, if using), and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until glaze thickens. Brush over roast 2-3 times during the last 30-minutes or so of the cook time. Serve with remaining glaze.
Notes
