Equipment

Slow Cooker
Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

3 pound shoulder pork roast
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup honey
1 cup beef broth
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon water

Instructions

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides of the pork roast and place inside the slow cooker.
Drizzle honey over the top of the roast.
In a medium bowl, mix together beef broth, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Pour over the roast.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours (which is the method I prefer- low and slow!) or you could cook on high for 5-6 hours (but I feel like it never falls apart as easily as when you cook it on low all day long).
When it's finished, remove juices from bottom of slow cooker and place in a small saucepan over medium high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of corn starch and 1 tablespoon of water. Pour cornstarch mixture into saucepan and whisk quickly. When mixture starts to thicken, pour over roast.

Notes

To turn this into a freezer meal:

In a gallon-sized freezer bag, add pork roast, honey, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Place the lid on top and cook for 9-10 hours on low heat (you can cook it for 5-6 hours on high heat, but it will not be as tender as cooking it low and slow. We highly recommend low and slow!). Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
