• Whisk together the honey, vinegar, spices, onion and Worcestershire sauce and pour over the meat.
• Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 5 – 6 hours on High or 10 – 12 hours on Low until meat is tender.
• Remove the meat from the cooker and place in a baking dish. Heat the oven to 180C.
• Mix together all the glaze ingredients and pour over the meat. Place in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes, basting once or twice with the glaze during cooking.
