Yummy Pork Marinade

This recipe is sweet, yet feel-good at the same time if you know what I mean. It can be done with pork or chicken. This one came from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.

Ingredients
1/3 c brown sugar
1/4 c vinegar
1/4 c ketchup
1/4 c water
2 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. cornstarch

(I usually double it or make a batch and a half, but it depends on how much meat you are cooking)
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Grease a crockpot and set it for LOW for at least 6 hours or HIGH for 4. Throw your meat in the crockpot and top with marinade. A half hour before you are ready to eat, break up the meat into small pieces so that juices can be soaked up. After you remove the meat you can use the remaining juice to make gravy by putting it in a saucepan, boiling it, and adding some cornstarch mixed with some water.
