1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (4 pounds)

2 cups water

¼ cup molasses

¼ cup cider or white wine vinegar

4 green onions, sliced

2 teaspoons garlic powder

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

3 tablespoons cornstarch

¼ cup cold water

1. Cut roast in half and place in a bowl. In a separate bowl or shallow dish, combine the water, soy sauce, sesame seeds, molasses, vinegar, onions, garlic powder and cayenne. Pour half over the roast. Turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate roast overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.

2. Drain roast, discarding marinade. Place roast in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add the reserved marinade. Cook, covered on high for 1 hour. Reduce temperature to low; cook until meat is tender, 8-9 hours longer.

3. Remove meat to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer juices to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve with meat. If desired, sprinkle with additional sesame seeds.

*Note: Great pork roast recipe! I only had a pork loin roast, so using the recipe, but reduced cooking time to only about 4 hours. Then made an Asian cucumber, tomato, onion relish to go with it and threw crunchy chow mein noodles on top and family went nuts! Now want to figure out how to make a soup with noodles out of it! Thanks so much for a great recipe!
