Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork roast (boneless)
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 medium Onion (sliced)
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels and season it with paprika, salt, and black pepper on all sides.
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
Place the sliced onion at the bottom of a slow cooker to create a bed for the pork roast.
Lay the seasoned pork roast on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
Pour the prepared honey glaze evenly over the pork roast.
Add the chicken broth to the slow cooker, pouring it around the edges to avoid rinsing off the glaze on the pork.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork roast from the slow cooker and set it aside. Use two forks to shred the pork if desired.
Strain the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and transfer it to a saucepan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then stir it into the saucepan with the cooking liquid.
Cook the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens into a glaze.
Serve the pork roast drizzled with the honey glaze and garnish as desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
