Slow Cooker Pork Roast with a Sweet Tangy Glaze

Instructions

1. Place the pork roast in the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle with sage, salt, and pepper. Rub the spices all over the roast and cover with lid.
2. Cook on low for 7-8 hours until the meat pulls apart easily. As noted above, the cooking time will vary for different slow cookers.
3. When the meat begins to fall apart, turn the roast over and use tongs to gently pull the meat apart. This allows the meat to absorb any juices in the crockpot back into the meat. Once the meat is loosely broken apart, cover again with lid and reduce heat to warm, if that is an option for your crockpot.
4. Combine the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk together. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce bubbles, about 4-5 minutes. Reduce to a low simmer and allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Reserve a couple of tablespoons of the sauce and pour the rest over the meat in the crockpot. Toss gently to coat well. Drizzle the reserved glaze over each serving.
