Honey never spoils. It’s low in water and high in sugar, so bacteria can’t grow. Honey can go cloudy or become crystalized when stored, but warming restores it. I recently inherited some lovely buckwheat honey. I’ll use some of it for this:

 

Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Pork

 

4-5 pounds pork tenderloin

1 cup salsa verde

1/3 cup lime juice

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon oil

1 tablespoon EACH chili, garlic, and onion powders

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon EACH dried oregano, smoked paprika, cumin

1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

 

Dump salsa, honey and lime in slow cooker. Rinse pork and pat dry. Mix seasonings together and rub pork. Sear pork in oil on all sides until lightly browned. Transfer to slow cooker and spoon salsa verde sauce over pork. Cook on low 8 hours. Shred pork and add back to slow cooker. Continue cooking about half an hour. Makes great tacos, burritos, or fajitas.
