Balsamic Honey Pulled Pork Sliders

  • Share
  • Tweet

Can we talk about how excited I am to share this recipe?! It’s no secret that I love pulled pork but with a homemade balsamic honey BBQ sauce? You cannot go wrong. And you won’t even believe how easy these are!

The pork is made in the slow cooker (see, easy!) and then all you have to do is simmer a few ingredients for the BBQ sauce and you’re done. You can buy deli coleslaw or make your own but you definitely need it to put on your sandwich. Yes, I am eating my words.

For the sauce, I used this balsamic vinegar:

If you are not putting this on everything you eat, you are not living. Best thing ever. It gave the BBQ sauce a slight fruity taste that just made it even more awesome. Of course you can use a regular balsamic vinegar too.

Looking for a slider bun recipe? I got you covered.

    Oh my gosh! I bought this bottle of blueberry balsamic vinegar on a whim two years ago and it is still sitting in my cabinet – unopened – because I don’t know what to do with it. Now I do!

    I made these for a birthday party and they were highly praised! I used regular balsamic vinegar and it was great–couldn’t find any fruity stuff at Wegmans. Thanks for the super delicious recipe!
