PULLED PORK


This is a favorite for my boys that I've progressively changed over the years. Simple, a little spicy, but delish!

1 large pork shoulder, or roast, or whatever you have
chili powder
garlic powder
your favorite barbeque sauce
1-2 onions (chopped)
1-2 apples (peeled and chopped)

Place pork in slow cooker on high with no water, and season liberally...and I mean LIBERALLY with garlic and chili. Let it roast most of the day, or at least 6 hours until you can easily pull it with 2 forks.

Meanwhile prep your sauce....in a saucepan, saute the apples and onion, then add about 3 cups of sauce (more or less to suit the size of your roast) and approximately 1/4 cup of chili powder. Allow this to simmer until things have softened nicely.

Then drain off liquid (fat) from the pork and start pulling. I will leave it to your discretion if you trim off the fatty bits you find, but I generally do especially if they are large. When the pork is completely pulled, pour in the sauce and mix. Then allow it to stew in the crock for another hour or so on low. YUM! I serve this on a whole wheat honey bun and the kids love it....but the Costco buns work great as well!
