Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lbs pork loin or substitute pork shoulder for shredding
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos for gluten-free
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 2 tsp fresh
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary or 2 tsp fresh
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • apple cider vinegar optional, for balance
  • orange zest optional, for citrusy flavor

Instructions
 

  • Season pork loin generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Add optional ingredients if desired.
  • Place the pork in the slow cooker and pour the glaze over it, coating all sides. Some can go underneath as well.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.
  • Let the pork rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
  • Drizzle slow cooker juices over the pork, or simmer the liquid on the stovetop to thicken before serving.

Notes

You can thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry if desired. Leftovers make amazing sandwiches or tacos.
