Steps:
- Cut pork roast in half. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown roast in oil on all sides; drain. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker.

Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with pork. Yield: 8 servings.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork roast: A pork shoulder or pork butt roast is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a good amount of fat and connective tissue that will break down and make the pork tender and flavorful.
- Sear the pork roast before roasting: Searing the pork roast in a hot skillet before roasting it helps to brown the meat and develop flavor.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade for this recipe is made with a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and pineapple juice. This marinade helps to infuse the pork with flavor and tenderize it.
- Roast the pork roast low and slow: Roasting the pork roast at a low temperature for a long period of time allows the connective tissue to break down and the meat to become tender and fall-apart.
- Baste the pork roast with the marinade: Basting the pork roast with the marinade during the roasting process helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the pork roast rest before serving: Letting the pork roast rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
This Hawaiian pork roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The combination of the flavorful marinade, the tender pork, and the sweet and tangy pineapple sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve this pork roast with rice, roasted vegetables, or your favorite sides.
