CROCK POT PORK CHOPS WITH DRIED FRUIT

Crock Pot Pork Chops With Dried Fruit image

The pork chops are stacked in the crock pot, so I think you could substitute a small pork roast and get pretty much the same results. Have not tried this but have tried the pork chops and they are great! If you use a roast, please let me know how it turns out.
