Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Recipe
You’ll Need
- 1 pork shoulder or butt (about 3lbs.), trimmed of any excess fat
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup apple juice
- 3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp. grainy Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. smoked paprika
- 2 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Prep and Cook
- Put the pork in the slow cooker
In a large bowl, combine the marinade ingredients
Pour it over the pork, rubbing it in
Cover and cook on low heat for about 8 hours - Remove the meat from the slow cooker and pour the liquid into a medium saucepan
Set it over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil
Then turn it down slightly (so it’s still bubbling) and reduce the liquid by half - While the sauce is thickening, shred the pork with two forks (remove the bone if there is one) Pour the thickened sauce over the meat and stir to combine
- Tip: This pulled pork is absolutely delicious served on whole wheat or white crusty buns with a tangy slaw!
