You can put this roast in the slow cooker and then forget about it, knowing it will be moist and tender when you get home after a day of work or Christmas shopping. The fruity sauce complements the meat so well. -Joyce Turley Slaughters, Kentucky

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless rolled pork loin roast (3 to 4 pounds), halved
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
