Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 3 lb pork loin
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • 1 small onion, diced ((about 1/2 cup))
  • 1/2 cup diced green pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (I used my homemade Dijon mustard)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 2 tablespoons cool water
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (optional)

Instruction

  • Place the pork loin fat side up in a 6 or 7 quart crock pot.
  • Salt and pepper the meat.
  • In a small bowl mix the chicken broth, apricot preserves, onion, green pepper and Dijon mustard.
  • Pour the apricot glaze ingredients over the pork loin in the crock pot.
  • Move the pork loin around a bit so the glaze seeps under the pork.
  • Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
  • Remove the pork loin from the crock pot to a serving platter to rest for 8 minutes before carving.
  • Carefully pour the liquid from the crock pot into a small sauce pan.
  • Heat the apricot glaze liquid on medium high until it starts to boil.
  • Mix the cornstarch with the cool water and add to the boiling liquid. Stir and return to a boil. Heat the apricot glaze until thickened. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Serve the sliced pork loin over a bed of cooked rice and spoon the apricot glaze over each serving is desired.
