Ingredients

• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 1/2 pound boneless pork roast
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 3 TBSP red wine vinegar
• 2 TBSP soy sauce
• 1 TBSP less sugar ketchup (or no sugar added tomato paste)
• 1/2 tbsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• a few dashes of hot pepper sauce (tabasco or tapatio, etc)
• 1 tsp of guar gum (optional to thicken sauce at end)

Preparation

Step 1

Arrange the onion slices evenly over the bottom of the crockpot. Place the roast on top of the onion. In a bowl, mix together water, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and hot sauce. Pour mixture over roast. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. If you want to thicken the sauce, remove and plate the roast and onions. With the sauce still in the crockpot, sprinkle guar gum on sauce and stir. Guar gum creates a bit of a jell-like sauce, not creamy so be aware of the texture, as you can see in my photo. Pour sauce over roast and onions.
