Cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (Cook time: 6-7 hours)
For a richer flavor, sear the pork loin in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This will add a beautiful crust and enhance the depth of flavor.
Feel free to add other root vegetables to the slow cooker, such as carrots, parsnips, or potatoes. They will all benefit from the sweet and savory flavors of the dish.
If you prefer a saucier dish, add 1/2 cup of apple cider or chicken broth to the slow cooker before cooking.
