CHIPOTLE RASPBERRY PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Place pork roast in crock pot.
• Sprinkle roast with dry onion soup mix and pat soup mix into the pork roast.
• Pour Chipotle Raspberry Sauce on top of roast.
• Be sure to use the whole jar and coat the whole top and sides of roast.
• I have a brand new fabulous crock pot so the timing may be different on yours: Set crock pot on low for 6-7 hours and on high for 3. I set mine the first time on high for 4 and was a little dry. I like my pork medium well though! So 3 hours on high worked for me.
