Steps:
- For the sliders: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- In a food processor, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, chile powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, jalapenos and onions and blend until a thick paste forms. Rub the paste all over the pork and place in a large Dutch oven skin-side up. Add 1 cup water, cover tightly with a lid and roast until just tender, 4 to 5 hours.
- Remove the lid and continue cooking until the pork is falling apart and a dark bark has formed, 1 to 2 hours longer. Allow to cool slightly.
- Remove the pork from the pot and remove and discard the fat. Shred the pork with 2 forks. Remove as much of the fat as possible from the sauce, then transfer the shredded pork back to the sauce. Stir in the spicy barbecue sauce to just coat the meat.
- For the fixings: Serve on mini buns with a toppings bar including bacon, Colorful Coleslaw, a variety of pickles [regular, pickled red onions and pickled jalapenos], whole-grain mustard, spicy barbecue sauce and hot sauce.
- Combine the mini sweet peppers, carrots and cabbage in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt and hot sauce. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Add the cilantro and mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

MILDLY SPICY POP PULLED PORK
I modified the original recipe I saw on The Pioneer Woman to suit our family's tastes. This has a hint of heat, but is rather mild. For those who love heat just add more chiles. I've heard of people using a whole 7 oz. can for super spicy pork. We paired this with potatoes au gratin and coleslaw (recipe #218429), but you could also put it on a bun for a nice sandwich.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Start by placing the onion quarters in the bottom of an oven-safe pot. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper, and then place on top of the onions. Spoon in the brown sugar. Pour the chipotle peppers over the top, and then pour the soda pop over everything.
- Cover the pot, put in the oven and cook for about 6 hours, turning the roast 2 or 3 times during cooking. When it's done, the pork will be darker and falling apart. (I used tongs to turn 2-2 lb. roasts and when they were done the pressure of the tongs was making the meat shred.).
- Remove the meat from the pot and shred completely. At this point you may remove the cooked onions and chipotle peppers if you don't wish to have them with the shredded pork. I hear that keeping the peppers in will add heat to the final dish, though I did not do that. Then return the meat to the pot and keep in the juice until you need it.

- Season the pork generously with a dry rub before cooking. This will help to create a flavorful crust.
- Cook the pork on low heat for a long period of time. This will allow the meat to cook evenly and become fall-apart tender.
- Shred the pork with two forks or a meat shredder before serving.
- Serve the pulled pork on hamburger buns or slider rolls with your favorite toppings, such as barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.
