Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Roast

This is a terrific pork roast recipe that we all really enjoyed! We served this up with some pasta salad and steamed buttery fresh green beans for a tasty and satisfying dinner. The original recipe calls for a pork loin, but I used a ham pork roast that I had from my last CSA pick-up. This sauce will work great for pretty much any cut of pork.

This couldn't be any easier - throw it in the crockpot with some seasoning and water, then whip up the glaze at the end and voila; dinner is served!
