How to make slow cooker citrus pork loin (video)

Citrus rinds and aromatics infuse succulent pork in this hands-off dish. Pork tenderloin gets rubbery if overcooked, but the low heat of the slow cooker keeps the meat tender and gives it time to absorb flavor. I like to serve this dish with mashed potatoes and buttery green beans.

Nestling pork loin atop a bed of herbs and aromatics creates a steamy infusion of flavors, producing a juicy and mouthwatering result without the need for basting or rotating. Slice the loin into attractive rounds, for an impressive main dish.

Pro Tip: To make a delicious sauce for the pork while meat is resting, strain liquid from the bottom of slow cooker into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half, which should take 8-10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add 4 tablespoons of butter, one at time, stirring constantly.

Note: All slow cookers are a little bit different in temperature and calibration. This recipe was tested in Cooktop Cove's Test Kitchen using this slow cooker, which is available for purchase here.
