“Slow-cooked dishes are a favorite in our home, and this one is perfect for fall and winter evenings,” writes Sheree Shown from Junction City, Oregon. A pork roast cooks all afternoon with sweet onions, honey, soy sauce and ginger for fabulous flavor. “The aroma fills the house with a scent that cries out, 'Welcome home!',” Sheree notes.

Very tasty! I didn't have any cloves, but I added freshly grated ginger to the sauce while cooking. DELISH!

Way too strong cloves!! And, I would suggest brining the pork roast first. Mine was so dry that it just crumbled apart. Really yucky - we threw away the leftovers.

This recipe is fabulous! This is the best Asian-type pork roast I have tried in the crock pot.The onions and sauce are so good over the meat and jasmine rice. I added the garlic in with the sauce mixture because I was afraid it would burn while I was browning the roast if I rubbed it on the meat. I added 1 teaspoon sesame oil , Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon fresh grated gingerroot , instead of the powder, to the sauce. I reduced the cloves to 1/4 teaspoons because I was nervous about using them, but it was fine. I loved this and will make again! Thank you for such a great recipe! It looks so pretty when plated and would be great for company.
