Aunt Lou here.
This recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round was a huge hit in our house. I love how tender the Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork Loin turned out to be and how yummy the sauce is. Michael loved the sauce so much that when there was just a little bit of meat left, he shredded the pork loin that was left and mixed it up with the sauce and ate it straight out of the bowl. Of course he did this while I was gone mowing at the house I still own from before our marriage. So I didn’t get to try it like that!
I knew better than to expect him to leave me the leftovers from this Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork Loin. He was raving about how good it was and how much he loved the sauce. I think I ended up with a bowl of cereal for dinner that night… and doing the dishes…oh the life of a loving wife. 😉
What You Will Need for Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork Loin
Ingredients Needed
- 3 lb boneless pork loin
- 3/4 cup apple juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2.5 tablespoons corn starch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Equipment Needed
- Measuring cup
- Measuring spoons
- Stirring spatula
- Serving dish with sides big enough to hold the pork loin and sauce
- Large saucepan
- Whisk
- 6 quart slow cooker
Time Needed
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cooking Time: 7 to 8 hours on low (I prefer to cook a pork loin on low. By cooking it on low, the pork loin is fork tender and juicy.)
- Sauce Thickening Time: Approximately 5 minutes (With your sauce already being hot, it comes to a boil quite quickly and only needs to be boiled 2 to 3 minutes before it has thickened nicely. You will want to stir continually while it is boiling for the best consistency and to keep it from burning.)
