Slow-Cooker Honey-Soy Pulled Pork

Servings: 8-10

    1 6-7 lb Pork butt

    1-1/4 cups honey

    1/2 cup Soy sauce, reduced sodium

    1/4 cup Distilled white vinegar

    1/4 cup Brown sugar

    4 Tablespoons Dried basil leaves

    3 Tablespoons Garlic, minced

    1/4 cup Cornstarch

    Trim pork butt of all extra fat and place meat in slow-cooker.

    In a separate bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, basil and garlic. Pour on top of meat.

    Set slow-cooker on low for 8 hours. When done, remove meat and pour sauce into a large Pyrex bowl, preferably with a pour spout. Let sit for about 20 minutes and skim off any visible fat from the top. Pour sauce into sauce pan over medium heat.

     Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and add slowly to the sauce. Continue to stir, making sure there are no clumps. Sauce will thicken once mixture is hot enough, make sure not to boil over 1 minute as the cornstarch will break down.

    Shred meat with two forks and pour sauce over the meat.

Eat as is or make it into a sandwich.
