I use sweet chili sauce instead of duck sauce, but this recipe is just what I was looking for! It was the hit of the pot-luck... and little did anyone know, it was so EASY!!!

I had a 5-lb boneless pork loin that I used so I doubled the recipe. This is so easy to make and the results are delicious. As written in step 6, I did add some cornstarch in cold water near the end to thicken the sauce a bit. Thanx for a great new and different slowcooker recipe!
