My easiest pork loin recipe is to put a container of sauerkraut into the crockpot, add 2 tablespoons Gravy Master, mix together. Place the pork on top of the mixture and cook on low for 8 hours. My sister doesn't like sauerkraut, but will eat it by the bowl made this way :)

peel and cut up fresh sweet potatoes (enough to cover bottom of crockpot) top with 1/2 cup apricot or peach preserves. Lay pork loin on top and cover with another 1/2 cup preserves. Cook on low approx 8 hours. Very good.

Thanks for the recipe using raisin sauce. DH will love it.He likes raisin anything & ditto for cranberry sauce.

I buy the whole loins and cut up into chops as well. They are great! I leave one end to use as a roast. I salt and pepper and sear the meat in a skillet. Then I quarter potatoes into the bottom of my crockpot, dump in a bag of baby carrots and top with sliced onion. (I sometimes add garlic as well.) Salt and pepper the veggies then put the roast on top. Add water up to the bottom of the roast and cook all day on low (or on high for 4 hours). It is wonderful to come home to a complete meal ready to eat and it smells and tastes delicious.

Couldn't Be Easier Pork Roast --

1 boneless pork roast
1 bottle barbeque sauce

Put in crock-pot on low for 8 hours.

Serve on buns with salads.

This sounds so good. I also buy the whole loin.Someone said to wrap potatoes in foil,then put meat on top.Might try that too. DH is not a fan of potatoes cooked in slow cooker.Last Fall I made apple sauce in my SC.Cut apples in half & cut out any bad spots.No water needed. Cook on low till soft,put thru strainer & return to SC.Add small amt of sugar,cinnamon & several apples peeled & large dice. Cook on low till diced apples are done but not mushy.

I too use cranberry. I get them at Sams.

Just cooked one last night. I have found McCormick's GrillMates Montreal steak seasoning a perfect choice for all kinds of meats and cooking methods. I just coated the meat with a little EVOO in bottom of casserole, sprinkled all sides fairly heavily with the McCormicks. put a lid on it and baked it on 350 for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Actually reduced the heat to 325 at about the 1 hour point.

The carbonated drinks contain acids which break down the meat. In my Science classes we saw how they dissolved tooth enamal, metals, rocks, etc. Same things they do to your stomach!

Good recipes
