i made this last week, my first attempt at pulled pork, and it was a winner. i had a spicy carolina style pp sandwich at a native american festival, and got into a chat with the cooks. this was the recipe, from what i can recall as it was told to me. by the way, this is by no means a low fat dish. trying to make it low fat will just not be the same. please enjoy it the way it was meant to be. pork fat rules!

Time 12h10m

Yield 8-12 , 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 -5 lbs pork shoulder
3 large onions (1 thick sliced the other 2 thin sliced)
12 ounces vernos ginger ale
1 orange, cut in quarters (lightly squeezed and the rest thrown in the crock pot)
1 bay leaf
3 whole cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups barbecue sauce (plain, you can just use a good store bought for this)
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons chopped chipoltes in adobo seasoning (to taste, you can go less, is you don't want it spicy)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons orange juice

Steps:

  • Pork -- Season your pork well with salt and pepper. Add the thick sliced onion on the bottom and then top with the pork. Then top with the thin sliced onions.
  • Add the Vernors, cloves, bay leaves and squeeze the oranges and then throw in the pieces. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours until tender.
  • Pull -- The pork is done. Remove and let cool slightly. Then pull apart the pork.
  • Sauce -- A few minutes before I remove my pork, is when I start my BBQ sauce. In a small pot over medium heat add the sauce, honey, garlic, orange juice, chipoltes and about 1 cup of the Vernors broth. Bring to a light boil, reduce to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes. Add a little more Vernors broth, not much and bring to a boil again and reduce until the sauce is rich and thick.
  • Pork -- As the sauce cooks, pull the pork. Add your sauce to your pork and enjoy. If you don't use all your sauce. Just put in a baggie and freeze. This is great just brushed over pork chops or a tenderloin. Don't throw it out.
  • Onions -- Don't forget about all those good onions. Scoop them out and serve on the side to serve on the sandwich.
  • Serve -- Well you know what to do. Your favorite buns, coleslaw and ENJOY!

Categories     Pork

Time 10h20m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 lbs pork shoulder
1/2 ounce dried jalapeno pepper (McCormick has a bottle)
3 tablespoons onion powder
1 cup water
2 (18 ounce) bottles spicy bbq sauce

Steps:

  • Place pork in crockpot.
  • pour in water.
  • sprinkle on jalapenos and onion powder.
  • cook pork on low in crockpot for 8-10 hours.
  • drain fluids out of the crockpot.
  • shread pork into small chunky peices and return to crock pot.
  • pour in bbq sauce and mix well.
  • heat for another 1-2 hours and serve.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right cut of pork: For pulled pork, select a pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) or pork loin. Pork shoulder is a more affordable cut with more fat, resulting in tender and flavorful pulled pork. Pork loin is leaner and cooks faster, but it can be drier if overcooked.
  • Enhance the flavor: Before slow cooking, season the pork with a flavorful rub. Common ingredients include brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. You can also add a splash of liquid, such as apple cider vinegar or orange juice, to help tenderize the meat.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Ensure there is enough space for the pork to cook evenly. If the slow cooker is too crowded, the pork may not cook thoroughly.
  • Cook on low and slow: For tender and juicy pulled pork, cook it on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 4-6 hours. The longer cooking time allows the connective tissues in the pork to break down, resulting in fall-apart tender meat.
  • Check the internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork has reached an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C) for food safety and optimal tenderness.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for about 15 minutes before shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more flavorful and moist pulled pork.
  • Shred the pork with two forks: Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. This is the traditional and most effective method for achieving tender and fluffy pulled pork.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker pulled pork is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in various ways. Whether you serve it on a bun with your favorite toppings, over a bed of rice, or as a taco filling, pulled pork is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. With the right ingredients and cooking techniques, you can easily create tender, juicy, and flavorful pulled pork in the comfort of your own kitchen. So, gather your ingredients, set your slow cooker, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds craving more.
