This slow cooker Honey Citrus Pork Loin is a mouth-watering and delicious way to prepare a pork loin. Great for any holiday and family gathering.
I told you I was crazy for honey right now, didn’t I? Well my obsession has not dwindled. In fact I think I just need to get my own bee colony and become a honey farmer. I am only half joking …….. I had planned on making this pork loin just like one I had pinned on Pinterest which was stuffed with apple slices. But when it came time to cook it …… I just wasn’t in an apple mood. I started looking through the fridge and cupboards trying to come up with an alternative. We had one navel orange and the honey was calling my name.
So I winged it and came up with Honey Citrus Pork Loin. I love when adventures have yummy endings. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!
