Directions

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the  honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.

  3. Place the pork loin in the  slow cooker and pour the honey-garlic mixture over the top, coating it evenly.

  4. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

  5. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  6. Serve with the  juices from the slow cooker drizzled over the top.


Variations & Tips

  • Add a little heat: Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey-garlic mixture.

  • Swap the cut: Substitute pork loin with pork shoulder for a more tender, pulled-pork texture.

  • Thicken the glaze: Transfer the juices to a saucepan after cooking and simmer until reduced to your desired consistency.
