Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Balsamic Pork
This sweet and tangy slow-cooked pork shoulder is melt-in-your-mouth tender and loaded with rich balsamic flavor. Perfect for busy weeknights or Sunday dinner with the family.
INGREDIENTS:
3 pounds pork shoulder or pork butt
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
DIRECTIONS:
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Pour the mixture over the pork, ensuring it is well coated.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce.
Serve hot with your choice of sides.
