So I happened upon some $1.49/lb pork roast recently. I bought 2 roasts last month…one to use that week I bought them and another for the freezer. I got to talking to the butcher at the store while she was weighing and packaging up the roasts. I told her that I was surprised at the price, as I hadn’t seen that great of a price in a long while. She, too, was surprised when she saw it come across her desk…and again when the sale went live. She told me that this price was the “at cost” price…and then I said that I was certainly glad to take some of these roasts off her hands “at cost.” 🙂

I decided to do a peach glaze on the pork roast…as I still had some peach preserves in my fridge from the Ginger-Peach Glazed Tilapia. I served it with some frozen green beans and brown rice. Here’s the recipe for ya…hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients

Instructions

• Place the roast in the base of the slow cooker, season with minced onion, salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup of water around the roast. (I do this to make the atmosphere inside the slow cooker nice and moist while the pork cooks.)

• Prepare the brown rice and green beans as directed.
