A hearty and flavorful slow-cooked pork roast paired with tangy sauerkraut and aromatic onions, perfect for a comforting meal.
Prepare the slow cooker by drizzling olive oil on the bottom.
This prevents sticking and adds a layer of flavor.
Slice the onion into thick rounds and place them at the bottom of the slow cooker.
The onion acts as a natural rack for the pork.
Season the pork loin with your favorite spices and insert garlic cloves into small cuts in the meat.
Make small incisions to insert the garlic evenly.
Place the pork loin on top of the onion slices.
Ensure the pork is centered for even cooking.
Mix the peach and apricot preserves and spread over the pork.
This adds a sweet glaze to the pork.
Add the sauerkraut and chicken broth around the pork, avoiding washing off the preserves.
Pour gently to maintain the glaze on the pork.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours.
Cooking on low yields more tender meat.
Serve the pork with sauerkraut and onions, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a complete meal.
