- 2 cans (8 oz each) unsweetened crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 cup barbeque sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

In a large saucepan, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, cut roast in half. In a non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown the pork roast. Place the roast in a 5 quart slow cooker. Pour sauce over roast and turn to coat. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
