I am in love with my Slow Cooker. I really am. I consider Sally the Slow Cooker to be one of my best friend’s. She never lets me down. Especially with this recipe.
Dust off your Slow Cooker and get ready to make an amazing meal! This roast is melt in your mouth magical goodness. The incredible smells coming from the kitchen was a good indication of how delicious this roast would be.
Check out my newest video and follow along with the easy tutorial!
But every time you take a bite of the roast, you have to say MMMM and just shake your head, because you can’t believe that you just made an incredible meal. Serve it with Mashed Potatoes and Sauteed Swiss Chard. THE BEST!!
Plus this roast makes some of the best gravy ever! We were pooling it into our mashed potatoes like there was no tomorrow, but there is a tomorrow, and you will be so happy you have leftovers!
Serve this amazing roast over my favorite Mashed Potatoes Recipe.

Hi. Your pork roast recipe sounds yummy but I need to check directions a little. You said pour remaining juices and vinegar…does that mean that you start with the half cup vinegar during cooking and then add the 2 tbsp at end or do you save all vinegar till making reduced sauce? Thanks for clarifying!
Hi Sherri,
Thank you for this question, the directions should say: Pour the remaining sauce from slow cooker into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let it reduce by about half.
Hope this helps. Nettie
what cut do you use? I have a 5 pound boned picnic.
I used a boneless roast, but you could use that, it all works perfect in a Slow Cooker.
Hi Nettie,
Since I don’t eat pork, do you think a beef roast would work, and if so, what cut might you recommend?
Slow 8-10 hour crockpot cooking breaks down the muscle in just about anything, consequently a reasonably lean cheap cut of meat is optimal so you don’t end up with bits and pieces when it’s done. Top or bottom round may hold up and actually be tender.
Did you prepare this using a butt or a boneless pork loin specifically?
Kim,
I used a boneless butt roast, but just know that with a crockpot you can use boneless or bone in, it all works great.
Good Luck! Nettie
Do you brown the roast before putting in the slow cooker?
Hi Lana, I have browned the roast one time and not browned, both are just as equally delicious. Nettie
You know how you leave a comment saying you’re going to make this wonderful recipe, and then it gets pinned and forgotten? That is NOT going to happen with this recipe. Looks incredible, and I will be making it very soon. Thank you, Nettie!
I am thrilled that you are going to make it Lorinda, don’t forget to tell me what you think! Nettie
My sister tagged me in a post about this recipe this morning. I had pretty much all the ingredients except the rosemary and thyme so I subbed those with mixed herbs.
Have just taken the pork out of the slow cooker and O.M.G I have had to tear myself away from it or there’d be none left for dinner when hubby comes home from work 😮
It really is so amazing! So happy that you loved it! Nettie
This was a truly delicious meal- the kids wolfed the lot down- excellent thanks..xx
I am so happy that you all enjoyed this roast! Nettie
