Instructions: 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 to 12 hours.

To thicken gravy; remove roast to serving platter. Blend 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to form a smooth paste. Set on high and pour in paste. Stir well and let come to a boil - about 15 minutes, until thickened. If the juices are watery, you may wish to first reduce on the stovetop for more flavor.
