Savory Apple Pulled Pork in the Crock Pot

[SarasotaCook]

Savory Apple Crock Pork Pork Butt. Using a Xmas present from a friend ... a seasoning packet from an OH local farm store. It was fantastic.

I seasoned the pork and seared in olive oil.
Added to the crock on top of a chopped apple and large onion, and added the rest of the seasoning.
Added a cup of amber/winter harvest beer and cooked on high for 30 minutes, then low for 6 hours.
Removed the pork, strained the liquid and saved 1/2 cup. Added a spicy chipotle BBQ sauce and cooked on the stove top for 10 minutes.

Basic mayo/vinegar coleslaw; and, planned spud salad, but ended up adding 4 small red potatoes to the crock instead. Easier, and just as good.

Seasoning from my friend in OH; it smells so good

Sensation gift and photos! Looks so moist and tender, bet cooking with the apple added a wonderful sweet –savory flavor.

[SarasotaCook]

Yeah, I strained the sauce; but the apple and onion gave it a GREAT flavor. The sauce was a generic spicy/chipotle sauce, but I also added a spoon of apple jelly too. The mix of that and the beer/apple/onion sauce from the pork was really good.

Yes, it was a nice Xmas Gift; Well enjoyed. And the pork turned out really tender. Not fancy; but a nice easy dinner for sure. And plenty of leftovers is the best part.

Oh man a chipotle base in the sauce that right up my ally

[SarasotaCook]

I get the sauce from a local market. 3.50, NOT expensive, but tasty. But it is basic other than the chipotle. I love to add some apple jelly, cherry jelly; apricot jelly, etc. You can really jazz it up and it is delicious with the heat. Worth every penny.

It's close to 6:30 a.m. here, and really would like
that for my breakfast. Tuck some of that pork and sauce and
tuck it into a biscuit.
