## Ingredients

- 3 lb boneless pork loin roast
- 1 cup Coca-Cola (classic)
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

## Instructions

1. Place the pork loin roast into a large slow cooker and season the surface lightly with black pepper.
2. Whisk the Coca-Cola, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and ground ginger together in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Pour the liquid mixture over the pork loin, ensuring the roast is well-coated and sitting in the sweet and savory marinade.
4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on the Low setting at 170°F for 4 to 5 hours until the pork is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
5. Remove the roast to a platter to rest for 10 minutes.
6. While the roast rests, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining juices and simmer them to create a thick, glossy glaze to pour over the sliced meat.

## Equipment

- large slow cooker
- bowl
- whisk
- platter
- meat thermometer
- hot skillet

## Tips

- For the best results, use classic Coca-Cola rather than diet or zero-sugar versions, as the real sugar is necessary to create the caramelized glaze.
- Searing the pork loin in a hot skillet with a tablespoon of oil for 2 minutes per side before slow cooking can add a beautiful color and a deeper depth of flavor.
- If the roast has a fat cap, place it fat-side up in the crockpot so the rendered fat bastes the meat naturally as it cooks.
- Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to exactly 145°F, which keeps the meat juicy and prevents it from becoming dry and tough.
