Today, I tried out the crockpot pork recipe I posted previously in this thread, with a couple of changes. I knew for sure I had some honey, but I couldn't find it, so I substituted brown sugar. I had a little "spill" with the soy sauce, getting about double the 2 tbls the recipe called for. It didn't make the cooking liquid too salty, but I thought it tasted a little too "soy", so I added a little more orange juice, sugar and catsup to round it out. If it ends up being to strong, I'll add a little chicken broth or water before I thicken the juices with cornstarch.
I quartered a large sweet potato, and cooked that along side the pork loin. All those slices need are a pat of butter and a fork.
Everything is out of the crockpot and standing now.
For another side dish, I have some lovely fresh snow peas that I think I'll add to a boxed rice mix along with some canned chinese vegetables. Then we can spoon the sauce on the sliced pork and the rice.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
