Honey and Apple Cider Glazed Pork Roast

Ingredients:

3 pounds boneless pork roast
salt and pepper
6 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (optional)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions:

Trim roast well, then rub with salt and pepper. Combine apple cider, brown sugar, and ginger. Place the apples and roast in the slow cooker and cover with cider mixture. Cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours.

Preheat oven to 325F. Remove roast from slow cooker and place in roasting pan.

Mix the honey, molasses, and mustard together and spread over the roast.

Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes.

Slice and serve hot with apples on the side.

Yield: 6 servings

I made this a while back, and it was delicious! We didn't have any Dijon mustard on hand though, so I substituted honey mustard for it. It worked very well!

I got this recipe HERE.
