I too think this is fabulous! What a different taste for pork. I never thought to put lemon with pork before! I did add more garlic (LOVE GARLIC) personal preference. Served this with greek potatoes and asparagas with lemon sauce over top. YUM Ellie this is a definite keeper!

This turned out delicious, though I do admit to chickening out on using that much salt. I used just 2 teaspoons – and that seemed like plenty. I used the 3 pounds of pork specified, but it was not in one piece but rather in 5 pieces. I also added a chopped onion to the garlic. But I otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The meat was tender and flavoursome and the sauce delicious. Thank for sharing a super crockpot recipe.
