Equipment

Ingredients

1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 - 1-1/2 pound lean pork shoulder roast, trimmed of fat
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 orange
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup red wine or unsweetened grape juice
3/4 cup pitted dried plums, halved
1/2 3-inch cinnamon stick

Instructions

Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 4- to 5-Quart.
Mix brown sugar, oregano, salt and pepper in a cup. Rub pork all over with oil then with the brown sugar mixture. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker.
Meanwhile, with a swivel blade vegetable peeler, cut 2 3-inch strips of peel from the orange. Squeeze juice from the orange.
Put flour in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the broth, orange juice and wine until smooth.
Pour the broth mixture over the pork. Stir in prunes, orange peel and cinnamon stick.
Cover and cook until the pork is fork tender, 6 to 8 hours on LOW, turning the pork and basting it with sauce halfway through cooking time if you can.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Cut pork into 12 slices and serve with the sauce.

Notes

Serving size: 2 slices pork (about 3-4 ounces) + 5 tablespoons sauce

I used pork shoulder with very good results. If you prefer a leaner cut of pork, feel free to make the substitution, but it may require less time to cook.
