Ingredients I used:

• 2 lb pork roast
• 4 tbsp raw honey
• 1 tbsp chipotle puree
• 1 tsp chipotle hot sauce (I used El Yucateco)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp cilantro

Pro-Tip: Let the pork roast rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
