Use two forks to shred the meat
Skim excess fat from the juices in the pot

inal Thoughts: Sometimes the Best Meals Are the Ones That Cook Themselves
We think great food requires constant attention.
Stirring.
Checking.
Worrying.
But the truth is:
Some of the most delicious meals are the ones you walk away from.
This Honey Rosemary Pork doesn’t need you.
It just needs time.
And in return, it gives you:
Tender, juicy meat
Aromatic herbs
A kitchen that smells like heaven
So next time you’re tired, busy, or just plain hungry…
Don’t stress.
Turn on the slow cooker.
Rub on the honey.
Walk away.
Because sometimes, the difference between a tough dinner and a tender one…
Isn’t in the seasoning.
It’s in the simmer.
And once you try this?
You’ll wonder how you ever cooked pork any other way
