Sesame Pork Roast

INGREDIENTS

* 1 (4 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed
* 2 cups water
* 1/2 cup soy sauce
* 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
* 1/4 cup molasses
* 1/4 cup cider or white vinegar
* 4 green onions, sliced
* 2 teaspoons garlic powder
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 3 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1/4 cup cold water

DIRECTIONS

Cut roast in half; place in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. In a bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, sesame seeds, molasses, vinegar, onions, garlic powder and cayenne. Pour half over the roast. Cover the pork and remaining marinade; refrigerate overnight. Drain pork, discarding marinade. Place roast in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add the reserved marinade. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce temperature to low; cook 8-9 hours longer or until meat is tender. Remove the roast and keep warm. In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir in cooking juices. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Serve with the roast.
