Balsamic Honey Pulled Pork Sliders

This is the Big Game weekend!  Are you having a party at your house?  If you are be sure and check out my Build Your Own Nacho Bar post and my post on  Pretzels Dipping Sauces and Football Party Ideas.

If you are going to be spending it like we are – a quiet afternoon at home after church, today’s recipe may be just what you are looking for.  Balsamic Honey Pulled Pork Sliders are perfect football watching food.

This is another quick and easy dinner idea.  Two in one week.  If you missed the Asian Pork and Cabbage Salad I shared on Monday, you missed out!

I first enjoyed  Balsamic Honey Pulled Pork Sliders at a neighbor’s Halloween party.  That was when Cruella Deville and Horace made an appearance.  I love pulled pork but I especially loved it with the balsamic honey sauce on it.  The sweetness of the honey  along with the sweetness of the balsamic vinegar is lovely.

I used a pork shoulder roast and cooked it in the crockpot on low for 9-10 hours or you could do it on high for 4-5 hours.  I combined it with onion and sprinkle the meat with seasoning of thyme and rosemary.  Then chicken broth is poured over it.

While it is cooking away you will have lots of time to make the Balsamic Honey Sauce.

It is a combination of balsamic vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, honey, worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, garlic and some salt and pepper.  Cook it all up until it boils and then simmer to reduce it until it is nice and dark and thick.

Remove your meat from the crockpot and shred it with two forks.  Strain the liquid from the onions and combine the meat with the onions.  At this point you can put it back in the crockpot and pour the BBQ sauce over it and let it cook for another hour but I preferred to just serve it by putting the shredded pork on the slider bun and then drizzling the sauce over the top.

I love serving it on little slider buns because I think they are cute and I have this thing about miniature food tasting better!  You can find slider rolls in the bread section of most grocery stores.  But feel free to use a hamburger or hoagie type bun if you’d like.  While the Balsamic Honey Pulled Pork is cooking away in the crock pot and you are feeling energetic you can even make your own slider rolls. I’ll share my recipe for slider rolls tomorrow.
