Steps:
- First, prepare your pork dry rub by mixing together all of the spices in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Then, prepare veggies. Quarter 6 russet potatoes, chop a white onion, dice 6 medium carrots into 4 pieces each, and roughly chop 4 cloves of garlic.
- Place the veggie medley on the bottom of your crockpot.
- Next, rub your pork shoulder roast with the dry rub. Make sure that every nook and cranny is covered in rub.
- Heat around 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium/high heat. When olive oil is fragrant, sear pork shoulder for 2 minutes on each side.
- Then, place the pork roast in crock pot on top of the veggies. Make sure you scrape the skillet to get all of the delicious bits of rub off of it and add that to the crockpot, too.
- Create herb bundle, by using bakers twine to tie together thyme and rosemary and set that on top of the pork.
- Next, in a large Pyrex, mix together balsamic vinegar, red wine, and chicken broth.
- Then, pour that on top of the pork roast.
- Cover crockpot and turn to high. Let cook for around 6-8 hours (flipping pork roast halfway through cook time, if you can, if you can't no worries!).
- Remove meat and vegetables from the crockpot and discard the herb bundle.
- Using two forks, pull the pork roast apart into chunks and set aside.
- Place 1/2 cup of the liquid left in the crockpot into a microwave safe Pyrex. Whisk in cornstarch.
- Place cornstarch mixture into the microwave for 45 seconds (mixture should be thick a gelatinous).
- Remove from the microwave and whisk the cornstarch mixture into the existing liquid in the crockpot until it thickens into a thin gravy.
- Place pork and vegetables back into the crockpot and mix, coating everything in gravy.

SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST
I tried this cut of meat when it was on sale, and for lack of any other ideas I took suggestions from the back of the label, with a few tweaks (like making gravy). This is a very popular dish at our house, and it could not be easier! Instead of rubbing the roast with the onion soup mix and then adding the cranberry sauce, you can also just mix the onion soup mix with the cranberry sauce and pour the whole mixture over the roast.

You'll hardly believe this dish came out of a slow cooker. Searing the meat and coating it with a fresh herb paste gives this roast a good head start. A little rest and some fresh parsley and egg noodles ensures a great finish. Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes if that's what your crowd likes.

Steps:
- Coarsely chop together the rosemary, sage and thyme, and transfer them to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, and stir to combine.
- Score the fat cap of the pork shoulder in a crosshatch pattern, then rub it all over with 2 1/2 tablespoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and heat until shimmering. Add the pork, fat-side down, and brown it well, 3 to 4 minutes, then brown it all over, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a large plate.
- Add the wine, garlic and allspice to the pan, bring to a simmer and reduce by about half. Set aside.
- Put the carrots, celery, onions and bay leaves in the insert of a 7-quart slow cooker. Rub the herbed oil all over the pork, being sure to push some into all the natural divisions between muscles; place it on top of the vegetables, and pour in any collected juices. Add the reduced wine mixture and the chicken broth, cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board, and tent with foil. Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Discard the bay leaves, and tent the vegetables with foil. Pour the juices into a liquid measuring cup, and let them settle for about 10 minutes. The fat should rise to the surface; spoon off as much as you can, and discard. Pour the juices into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil.
- While the juices boil, make a cornstarch slurry: For every cup of juices, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch into 1 tablespoon cold water until dissolved. Reduce the heat so the juices are simmering, whisk in the slurry and cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Season with salt if necessary.
- Slice the pork against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and arrange on a large platter with the vegetables. Ladle some of the sauce on top. Season the meat with a pinch of salt, and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley. Serve with egg noodles, and pass the remaining sauce.

Tips:
- Choosing the right cut of pork: For a tender and juicy roast, select a pork shoulder or butt roast. These cuts have more fat than leaner cuts, which helps to keep them moist during the long cooking process.
- Preparing the pork: Before placing the pork in the slow cooker, season it generously with salt, pepper, and other desired spices. You can also brown the pork in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes per side before transferring it to the slow cooker.
- Adding vegetables and liquids: Surround the pork with vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. These vegetables will add flavor and moisture to the roast. You can also add liquids such as chicken broth or apple cider to the slow cooker, which will help to keep the pork moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Cooking time: The cooking time for a pork roast in a slow cooker will vary depending on the size of the roast and the temperature setting. Generally, a 3-pound pork roast will take about 8-10 hours on low or 6-8 hours on high. However, it's always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork has reached an internal temperature of 145°F before removing it from the slow cooker.
- Resting the pork: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker winter pork roast dinner is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its tender and juicy pork, flavorful vegetables, and rich gravy, this dish is sure to warm you up from the inside out. Plus, it's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients.
