Nine hours on low in the crockpot - talk about all-day-long anticipation but I promise you it will be worth it! Initially, I was a little worried that it would too sweet (for my taste) but the brown sugar, Dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar rub combined with the final cinnamon and brown sugar coating turned out deliciously perfect! And the slow cooker pork roast was juicy and very tender. I will definitely be making this again 😋
