Source: Rival Crock-Pot Stoneware Slow Cooker Recipe Booklet

4 to 5-pound loin end pork roast
Salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, slivered
2 medium onions, sliced
2 bay leaves
1 whole clove
1/2 cup hot water
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Rub pork roast with salt and pepper. Make tiny slits in meat and insert slivers of garlic. Place roast in broiler pan and broil 15 to 20 minutes to remove excess fat.

Put 1 sliced onion in bottom of crock pot. Add browned pork roast and remaining onion and other ingredients. Cover and cook on Low 10 hours (High: 5 to 6 hours).

Remove meat to platter; thicken gravy if desired.

To thicken gravy, prepare a smooth paste of about 1/2 cup flour or cornstarch to 1/2 cup water or 4 tablespoons melted butter. Pour mixture into the liquid in the crock pot and stir well. Turn to High and when it comes to a boil (about 15 minutes) it is ready.
