I experimented with making a pork loin roast in a different way, and came up with this dish that my family loved.

If you like sweet, savory and spice all rolled into one, then I know you will absolutely love this recipe, and you will receive rave reviews from your family and friends. Great dish to serve for a dinner party, because once you put it together in your crock pot it doesn’t need any attention.

It keeps well in the fridge for a few days and can be frozen.
