Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Pork

Pat roast dry with paper towels (helps sauce cling).

Place in a 5–7 quart slow cooker.

2. Make the Glaze

In a bowl, whisk honey, mustard, and salt until smooth.

Taste: should be balanced—sweet, tangy, slightly salty.

3. Coat & Cook

Pour glaze over pork; turn to coat all sides.

Place fat-side up (if applicable) to self-baste.

Cover and cook:

LOW for 7–9 hours, or

HIGH for 3.5–4.5 hours

✨ Pork is done when fork-tender and pulls apart easily.

4. Rest & Reduce (Optional)

Transfer pork to a cutting board; rest 10 minutes.

Skim excess fat from sauce in slow cooker.

For thicker glaze: Uncover, set to HIGH, and reduce 10–15 mins, stirring occasionally.

5. Serve & Savor

Slice or shred pork; return to slow cooker to coat in sauce.

Or arrange on a platter and spoon glossy sauce over top.

Keep warm on “warm” setting for gatherings!

🍽️ Garnish: Fresh thyme or cracked black pepper.

Serving Suggestions

Classic comfort: Creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles

Light & fresh: Steamed green beans, roasted carrots, or arugula salad

Sandwich magic: Pile leftovers on toasted rolls with coleslaw

Holiday-ready: Pair with roasted sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce

Pro Tips for Success

Prep ahead: Mix sauce the night before; store in fridge.

Less sweet? Use ⅓ cup honey + ⅔ cup mustard.

Crisp the edges: Broil slices 2–3 mins before serving.

Freeze leftovers: Portion with sauce for quick future meals.
