The tender, succulent meat is complemented by the sweet honey butter sauce.

If you’re looking for alternate ingredients for the recipe “Fork Tender Crock Pot Spices Rubbed Pork Roast & Honey Butter Sauce,” here are some suggestions:

1. Pork: You can substitute the pork loin or shoulder with other cuts such as pork tenderloin, pork belly, or pork chops.
