Asian Pork Roast

Asian Pork Roast
“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.
