For a richer flavor, sear the pork roast in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This adds a beautiful crust and enhances the meat's natural juices. If desired, skim any excess fat from the pan juices after cooking. You can then thicken the juices with a slurry of cornstarch and water for a delicious gravy. Serve the shredded pork on buns for sandwiches, over rice, or with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes or coleslaw. Experiment with different sweeteners like brown sugar or honey for a slightly different flavor profile.
