2-3 pounds pork roast
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
Directions
1. Place the pork roast in the slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and Dijon mustard until well combined.
3. Pour the maple mustard mixture over the pork roast, ensuring it is evenly coated.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
5. Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.
6. Serve the pork with the cooking juices drizzled over the top.
Variations & Tips
If your family prefers a bit more spice, add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the maple mustard mixture for a slight kick. For those who are not fond of mustard, you can substitute it with barbecue sauce for a sweeter flavor. If you’re looking for a leaner option, use pork tenderloin instead of a pork roast. And for a fun twist, try serving the shredded pork on sandwich buns with a dollop of coleslaw for a tasty pulled pork sandwich.
