Ingredients:
2-3 lb pork loin roast
1 onion, sliced thinly
2 tbsp virgin olive oil
½ cup molasses-rich brown sugar
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup liquid gold (honey)
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tsp salt
3 garlic cloves, minced to perfection
2 cups fresh pineapple, diced
Optional: 1 tsp red pepper flakes, for that added kick
Steps:
Searing Magic: In a skillet kissed by medium heat, let the olive oil dance. Introduce the pork roast, letting each side get a golden tan.
Slow Cooker Setup: Shift the beautifully seared pork into your slow cooker, laying onions as its bed. (Tip: Let the onions have a quick sear too, if you wish).
Marinade Mix: Marry the vinegar, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes (if you’re adventurous) in a bowl.
Marinate: Pour this liquid symphony over the pork, ensuring it’s drenched in flavor.
Pineapple Toss: Sprinkle the diced pineapple around the pork, like golden jewels.
Patience: Lid on, and let the slow cooker weave its magic—low heat for a languid 6-8 hours, or high for an intense 4-5. Tender pork is your prize.
Finishing Touch: To give the gravy a velvety hug, consider a cornstarch embrace.
