Slow Cooker BBQ Pork with Pineapple Slaw

4/18/2016

0 Comments

 
Spring has definitely sprung in Southern Kentucky and we have the sunburns to prove it.  Time for BBQ and picnics and a little sunscreen.  Time to sit back, relax and enjoy this simple, delicious slow cooker BBQ pulled pork with a big glass of iced tea.

I often take pictures of food outdoors to try to capture good natural light in my photos.  One day my oldest son asked me why I never shot food photos with the beautiful natural landscape in the background.  I didn't have a good answer.  I was always so focused on the food that I never thought about the gorgeous landscape that was right in front of me.  The other day I was shooting these photos in my usual style with my photo boards and I couldn't help but notice the beautiful colors and glow of the sunset.  I remembered my son's comment about using the natural landscape as a background and I decided to try it.  I loved the results and will use more landscapes as backgrounds in the future.

This BBQ pork is super easy in your slow cooker.  A little honey, water, onion, and BBQ sauce is all you need.  Use your favorite store bought sauce or a delicious homemade BBQ sauce.
​
We all know that slaw and pulled pork go together and pineapple and pork go together so I decided to try pineapple and slaw...together.  It was a lovely combination,  The pineapple gives the slaw a natural sweetness so use more or less pineapple depending on how sweet you want your slaw.  Salt and pepper to taste.  I like a little extra salt and pepper when I make slaw.

Hoping your spring has sprung and you are enjoying quiet sunsets and delicious BBQ too.  
Slow Cooker BBQ Pork with Pineapple Slaw
 

2 1/2 to 3 lb. pork shoulder roast
​1/2 onion, diced
1/2 cup water
1 Tbsp. honey
BBQ sauce
 
1.  Place pork fat side down in slow cooker.  Add onion, water and honey.  Cook on low for 7 to 9 hours. 
 
2.  Remove pork from slow cooker and pull apart with two forks discarding any bone and fat. 
 
3.  Leave about 1/4 to 1/2 cup broth in the slow cooker, draining off the rest.  You may not need to drain off any broth.  Return the shredded pork to the crock-pot and add desired amount of your favorite BBQ sauce stirring to combine. 
 
4.  Cook on low until warmed through. 
 
 
Pineapple Slaw
 
1 small head cabbage, shredded
1/2 to 3/4 pineapple diced small or cut into thin chunks.  (Add more or less depending on how sweet you want your slaw)
 
Dressing ingredients:
 
1/2 cup miracle whip or mayo
2-3 Tbsp. honey, adjust to taste
2-3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar (adjust to taste, adding more as needed)
1 tsp. poppy seeds
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (adding more salt and pepper as needed)
 
Mix the dressing ingredients together and toss with the cabbage and pineapple.

This makes a lot of slaw, but you can easily cut this recipe in half.
