INGREDIENTS
  • 1 (4-lb.) bone-in Pork Shoulder, preferably Boston Butt
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 12 Garlic Cloves, smashed or finely chopped
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 Onion, cut into 8 wedges
  • 3/4 cups firmly-packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 cup White Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons freshly-squeezed Lemon Juice
WHAT TO DO
  • Sprinkle all sides of pork roast with salt and pepper. Cook roast in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Transfer pork to a 6-qt. slow cooker, and add garlic, bay leaves, and onion. Whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar until sugar dissolves; pour mixture over pork. Cover and cook on LOW 8 hours.
  • Transfer pork to a serving platter, and cover with foil to keep warm. Pour cooking liquid through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a medium saucepan, discarding solids. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil 8 minutes.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup cooking liquid into a small bowl, and whisk in flour and lemon juice until smooth. Return flour mixture to pan, and boil, whisking constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Spoon thickened sauce into a bowl or squeeze bottle. Serve sauce over pork.
ENJOY!
