• Pour 1/4 cup water in bottom.(don't pour it over the roast).
• Place in oven on middle rack.

• Bake approximately 3 hours or until internal temperature is at least 150°F depending on your desired doneness.
• Meanwhile, place sugar, flour,vinegar, water and soy sauce in small saucepan. Heat, stirring occasionally until mixture begins to bubble and thicken slightly.
