Let’s be honest — pork can be intimidating.
Too long in the oven?
Dry as a bone.
Not long enough?
Still chewy.
And checking doneness without overcooking?
A high-wire act.
But what if you could walk away, go to work, take a nap, or binge a show — and come back to fall-apart tender pork, glazed in a sweet, herbal sauce?
Enter: Honey Rosemary Pork in a Slow Cooker — a foolproof recipe from Sweet & Savory that turns a tricky cut into a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece.
No guesswork.
No stress.
Just set it and forget it deliciousness.
Let’s dive into how to make this aromatic, juicy, slow-cooked pork — with just a handful of ingredients and one magical pot.
Why This Recipe Works So Well
Pork shoulder (also called pork butt) is marbled with fat and connective tissue — perfect for slow cooking.
As it cooks low and slow:
The fat melts
The collagen breaks down into gelatin
The meat becomes incredibly tender
And the honey and rosemary?
They create a sweet-herbal crust that caramelizes slightly, adding depth and warmth.
This isn’t just pork.
It’s comfort in a crock.
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
