Teriyaki Pork Roast (crockpot)

The kids all LOVE this recipe and that's huge for us, as we often times have trouble getting the majority of them to eat meat - other than chicken

3/4c unsweetened apple juice
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp pepper
3lb boneless pork loin roast, halved (we just use a single 1.5lb roast)
2 1/2 Tbsp corn starch
3 Tbsp cold water

1. Combine apple juice, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic powder, and pepper in greased slow cooker.

2. Add roast. Turn to coat.

3. Cover. Cook on Low 7-8hrs. Remove roast and keep warm.

4. In saucepan, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Stir in juices from roast. Bring to boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Serve with roast.
