1 (4 to 5 pound) loin end pork roast
Salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, slivered
2 medium onions, sliced
2 bay leaves
1 whole clove
1/2 cup hot water
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Rub pork roast with salt and pepper. Make tiny slits in meat and insert slivers of garlic. Place roast in broiler pan and broil 15 to 20 minutes to remove excess fat.

Put 1 sliced onion in bottom of crockpot. Add browned pork roast and remaining onion and other ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW for 10 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours.

Remove meat to platter; thicken gravy if desired.
