Ingredients

• 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 to 4 pounds)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 3/4 cup stone-ground mustard
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper; brown in oil in a large skillet
on all sides. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add tomatoes and
onion; pour broth and wine around meat. Combine the mustard, garlic,
honey, molasses and thyme; pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for
6-7 hours or until meat is tender.

Remove roast; cover and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, skim fat from cooking juices; transfer juices to a small
saucepan. Bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir
for 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice pork and serve with sauce.
