How to Make Super Easy Crock Pot Plum Roast

  1. Preheat your crockpot.
  2. Season the roast generously with salt and pepper. (Approximately 1 teaspoon of each)
  3. Place the roast in the crockpot.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of plum jam and 1 packet (1 ounce) of onion soup mix.
  5. Pour the jam mixture evenly over the roast.
  6. Cook on high for 6 hours, or on low for 10-12 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
  7. Remove the roast from the crockpot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  8. For extra tender slices and intensified flavor, chill the roast overnight before slicing. Reheat gently before serving.
