Balsamic Honey Pulled Pork in the crockpot

This recipe sounded a little more sophisticated than the gazillions of crockpot pulled pork recipes. It wasn't as simple, as you do need to make the sauce on the stove top for 25min, but it didn't fail to disappoint!

Ingredients:
for pork
2.5-3# boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of fat
1 onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 cup chicken broth

for sauce
1c balsamic vinegar
3/4c ketchup
1/3c packed brown sugar
1/4c honey
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

Place pork, onion, pepper, herbs and broth in slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10hrs or high for 4.5-5hrs.

Make BBQ sauce by combining ingredients in heavy saucepan. Bring to boil and reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occassionally.

Transfer meat to cutting board and shred using two forks, discarding any fat.
Strain vegetable mixture and discard liquid. Return meat and veggies to crock pot. Add BBQ sauce and stir to coat meat evenly. Adjust slow cooker to low for 1 hr.

Serve on slider buns with coleslaw and pickles.
