Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless pork loin roast
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thinning glaze)
Instructions
Season the pork loin roast with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme, rubbing the seasonings evenly over the entire surface.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roast on all sides until it is browned. This step helps to lock in the juices and enhance the flavor.
In a small bowl, combine the apricot preserves, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well to create the glaze.
Place the seared pork roast into the crock pot. Pour the apricot glaze over the top, ensuring the roast is evenly coated.
If desired, add 2 tablespoons of water to the crock pot to slightly thin the glaze.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
About 15 minutes before serving, spoon some of the glaze from the crock pot over the top of the roast to enhance its flavor.
Carefully transfer the pork roast to a serving platter and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with the glaze spooned over the top and enjoy!
