Balsamic Crock Pot Pork Roast

1/13/2014

The perfect meal to come home to.
Something about a meal cooked in a crock pot makes me feel like I really didn't cook at all, maybe that's why I like them so much.
This is a little sweet from the balsamic sauce and a little savory from the herbs on the outside - it's the perfect combination.

Balsamic Crock Pot Pork Roast

Ingredients
2-3 lb pork roast
1 cup of balsamic vinegar
2 tsp dried rosemary
2 tsp dried thyme
2 bay leaves
2 tsp of cornstarch
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
1.    Pour balsamic vinegar into the crock pot.
2.    Rub rosemary & thyme onto all side of the roast
3.    Place roast in the crock pot and toss in the bay leaves.
4.    Add salt & pepper to taste.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours until desired tenderness.
Remove roast from crock pot, place on plate and tent with foil to rest.
Meanwhile, pour juices from crockpot into a saucepan and bring to a light boil. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with just enough water to dissolve cornstarch and make a pourable paste. Add this cornstarch mixture to saucepan and stir until balsamic sauce is thickened.

Pour sauce over pork roast as desired.
