What Ingredients Are in Slow Cooker Pork Roast?
- Pork Roast – I get a lot of questions about the type of pork roast that I use so here are my suggestions; Whether you’re using a pork loin roast, a pork butt roast, a pork shoulder roast or even a pork loin, you can use this recipe. I love a roast that is BONE-IN, because the bone gives it more flavor. However, if you don’t use a bone-in roast, that is just fine. Smaller roasts cook faster, while larger roasts are going to take longer – like around 10 hours. The longer that the pork roast cooks, the more tender it is going to be.
- Apple Juice – Apple juice makes the pork roast tender and also have a hint of sweetness.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – Vinegar is a natural meat tenderizer. It helps to break down the fibers and make the roast soft and tender.
