the balsamic and brown sugar pork roast was a hit - recipe

[fizzgig]

i rubbed the roast with garlic salt and a chili blend of the husband's doing, dropped it in the crock pot with a half cup of water and let if go on low for about eight hours.

the glaze (i doubled this)

½c brown sugar
½c water
¼c balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp cornstarch

i let the glaze thicken for about 20 minutes before i started using it. when i did get going, i removed the meat, dumped out the cooking liquid and coated the bottom of the crock pot with some of the glaze. i put the meat back in, brushed it with some of the glaze and let it go for about 15 minutes on high before i flipped it and brushed it again. 15 minutes later, i shredded the meat, dumped more glaze on it and let it go for another 15 minutes.

i topped the meat with caramelized onions and more glaze and served it with brown rice and roasted carrots. husband licked the plate, but next time is cut i think i'll cut a tbs or two of the sugar and add a couple pulverized cloves of garlic to the glaze.

1. Drooling on the keyboard. Your pork roast sounds divine, and I love your idea

with the garlic. I recently bought a smoked boston butt at a fundraiser for a cat rescue group. It was flavored with brown sugar and bourbon and man was it ever good. My mouth still waters when I think of how delicious that BBQ was.

2. i need to get bourbon for my next batch of bbq sauce

i smoke the pork for four hours before it goes into the crock pot. the roasts are bogo every month or so, so we eat it a lot.

3. Damn...

See, whenever I think I'll never be eating meat again soon, I see recipes like this one. Then, knowing I have everything but the meat, I think what a lovely Sunday meal this would be soon!
