Pork BBQ

Ingredients:
Roast
- 1 loin cut pork roast
- 1 large white onion
- 3 carrots
- 4 medium red potatoes
- 1 bulb anise
- Salt, pepper
- Worcestershire sauce
- Bar-B-Que sauce (see below, enough to cover roast)
- 1/2 c. water

- 2 tbsp flour

Sauce (~1 cup)
- 1/2 c. vinegar
- 3 tbsp. honey
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. pepper
- 3 tsp. cayenne chili powder
- 3 tbsp. catsup


Cut .5 inch gashes in the loin, each about 1 inch apart. Rub in salt and pepper.

Line the slow cooker with potatoes, onions, and anise. Place pork in cooker and carrots along the sides.

Sprinkle the pork generously with Worcestershire - be sure to put some in slits. Pour Bar-B-Que sauce completely over roast putting into slits also. Pour water in bottom of cooker to prevent sticking and to cook the side veggies. Cook on high about 5 hours. Remove pork and vegetables and keep in separate containers.

Skim fat from remaining sauce. On the side, mix about 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup water until smooth. Simmer sauce, adding flour mixture until thick.

Pull meat off bone into small pieces, discarding fat and bone. Mix in sauce. This is delicious on buns or plate with vegetables.
