  • 1
    Spray 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix cabbage, onion, apple, brown sugar, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in cooker.
  • 2
    Spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. If pork roast comes in netting or is tied, do not remove. Sprinkle pork with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook pork in skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides. Place pork on cabbage mixture.
  • 3
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 7 to 9 hours.
  • 4
    Remove netting or strings from pork. Serve pork with cabbage.

  • Buttered egg noodles and thinly sliced cucumbers with green onions in a mint or herb vinaigrette would be delicious with the pork and cabbage.
  • For a pretty presentation, mound the cabbage in the center of a platter and arrange slices of the pork and slices of fresh apple around it. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
  • Look for red cabbage with bright color and firmly packed, crisp-looking leaves. Cooking the cabbage in vinegar helps preserve its rosy red color.
