“This is one of my favorite slow-cooker recipes,” says Ruth Chiarenza of La Vale, Maryland. “It’s wonderful with rice or potatoes and any vegetable. It also reheats well for lunch the next day.”

I think it's funny when a recipe is called "Hawaiian" simply because pineapple has been added to it. The sauce was too strong.

A little strong on the cider vinegar & soy sauce, I thought. I think those could be significantly reduced. And I had to double the cornstarch & water to get it to thicken. Otherwise, good flavor. My family enjoyed it.

I have got to say this is the best pork roast I have ever had! Yum! I love the combination of flavors and the meat was so juicy and fall apart tender! This roast will become a regular on my menu! Thank you for the recipe!

easy - yummy - juicy - lots of gravy - fun but not too exotic

Make sure you don't over cook it. I cooked it for 3.5 hours and I think it was about 30 minutes too much. Next time I'll start checking it at 2 1/2 hours. It was very good though.

Everytime I have had a pork roast it is dry. Maybe I just prefer fatty meat! The sauce was good and no one complained but me. I had a larger pork loin cut for this roast and a bunch of pork chops, maybe I'll fare better with those. I am planning weekly menus that use the crock pot nearly everyday(due to high power bills!) so I guess not everyone will be a favorite!

Very good. Although the soy sauce gave my sauce a darker color than is pictured here. This will become a staple for pork roasts in my family.

I made this last night and everyone raved about it. This will definitely be used again. Also, the leftover meat and sauce were terrific as a sandwich the today for lunch.
