Instructions
Make the Pork
In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker combine the ingredients for the roast pork.
Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours.
Make the Sauce
In a medium skillet cook minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until just starting to brown. Remove from heat.
Add the juices, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium.
Simmer, uncovered, about 5 minutes or until slightly reduced.
Assemble Sliders
Shred the pork while it is still in the slow cooker.
Stir the sauce into the shredded pork and let cook for another 15 minutes in the slow cooker.
To serve, spread cut sides of each bun with butter.
Grill in saute pan, cut side down, until just browned and a little crisp.
Remove from pan and spread mustard on each bun half.
Top bun bottoms with one-half slice ham and one-half slice cheese.
Use a slotted spoon to spoon roast pork mixture on top of cheese slices.
Cover with bun tops.
If desired, garnish each slider with a cornichons
