I love popping something into the slow cooker in the morning knowing that in the evening, I’ll be able to serve my family a wholesome supper that they’ll love.

For years, I’ve turned to my balsamic marinade that I’ve used with my balsamic beef, balsamic pork tenderloin, and even my balsamic chicken.

It is simple to pull together, only contains items that I routinely have in my pantry, and is out of this world delicious!

One of the meats that I especially love to use it with is pork roast. I use the same cooking method as with my pork roast recipe that practically falls apart when you look at it, but the balsamic marinade helps to tenderize and flavor the meat for one more incredible dish!

The balsamic pork roast is perfect served alongside vegetables or a salad or creamy mashed potatoes for a traditional supper or even stuffed into your favorite bun as a pulled pork sandwich that doesn’t require any additional sauces.

Of course, I always recommend reserving the cooking juices from the slow cooker and reducing them on the stove for spooning over the dish. It just amps up the flavor even more!

Here’s my Balsamic Pork Roast recipe. I hope you love it as much as we do!

  1. Could I use white balsamic reduction instead of the watery balsamic vinegar? I’m worried I don’t see any leaves on my regular balsamic vinegar….

  2. Not to diminish your recipe..
    But if you slow cook anything for 8-14 hrs.. How can you go wrong?
    I need quicker results.

    But I am doing good it now!!!
    Maybe for oy 6 hrs. though.

    Thank you🙏💕

    I was looking for a suitable recipe and this looked interesting. As I was only cooking for two, I re-calculated the quantities to have the same proportions in smaller amounts, and used it to marinate some diced pork shoulder.

    I then cooked it in a roasting bag, in the slow cooker, adding some quartered shallots and some chopped tomatoes. The smaller amount of meat let me get away with a shorter cooking time, but the flavours were still absolutely what I was hoping for!
