Pulled Pork in a Crock Pot
From Suwanee Whole Life Co-op
<p>This is my go to recipe for pulled pork in a crock pot. I’ve tried many but my family prefers this one the best. Almost all the items can be found on the market website. We’ll be doing a group buy from Wilderness Family Naturals soon and you’ll find the spices on the market then. I usually serve with a side of slaw or veggies and gluten free cornbread muffins. Leftovers make great tacos!</p>Source: 100daysofrealfood.com (Entered by Nora Lea)
Serves: 6
Ingredients
3 TBSP
paprika
1 TBSP
sea salt
2 tsp
black pepper
1/2 tsp
cayenne pepper
1 tsp
garlic powder
1/2 tsp
thyme
1/2 cup
honey
1/4 cup
red wine vinegar
3 TBSP
olive oil
1
onion, peeled and cut in half
3 lbs
Pork - boston butt (shoulder roast)
Step by Step Instructions
- Instructions In a medium size mixing bowl, mix together the first six ingredients (all of the spices) with a fork.
- Pour in the honey, vinegar, and olive oil and stir to form a paste.
- Place the onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top it with the 2 pieces of pork and then pour the honey paste over all sides of the pork pieces. It’s okay if some of it (or a lot of it) just drips down to the bottom.
- Turn the slow cooker on to low and cook for 7 to 8 hours or until the meat is tender enough to be easily shredded with a fork.
- Serve the shredded pork warm with fixings like homemade coleslaw and cornbread. My husband also likes his dipped in a little hot sauce. Refrigerate or freeze the leftovers. Recipe Notes I used a pork shoulder, but you could experiment with a pork roast or pork loin. Another serving option is whole-wheat hamburger buns - pulled pork sandwiches!
