Slow-Cooked Pork Roast
This pork roast makes a wonderful summer meal, as the oven never needs heating. It's so tender, it just falls apart when served.—Marion Lowery, Medford, Oregon

This was delicious! Looking over the previous reviews and in order to use what I had on hand, I did make a few changes. I didn't have apple juice, so I added applesauce - about 3 tablespoons. I also didn't have enough fresh lemons for the zest, so I added zest along with the juice of one lemon. I also added about 2 or 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and about 1/2 of an onion- sauteed. I did use the liquid smoke as well. Excellent!
Delicious! Will be making this again. No changes needed.
I made this tonight for the first time and will definitely make it again!! It was delicious and the whole family loved it. I omitted the liquid smoke but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My roast was larger, about 5.5lbs. I did not double any ingredients - there was plenty of liquid to the roast. I think this also helped in making the roast tender but it did not fall apart. I cooked it on low for 6 hours and left it on the warming temp for 30 minutes. I poured the remaining juices from the pan over the leftovers to ensure they stay just as moist and tender. I think the next time I make this I will saut? a shallot for the sauce and add a little brown sugar. I think the shallot will add to the already great flavor.
I used pineapple chunks and mashed them a bit. I used just one can and added a cup of water. I followed the rest of the recipe. I served rice on side, using the juice in crockpot, on the rice. Was a nice blend of flavors.
Awsome
Great!
Delicious :-)
