Lori's Pulled Pork - Crockpot Style
Ready In: 744 hrs
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 3 -5 lbs pork roast (your choice, fatty is good!)
- 8 ounces beer (I like Kilt Lifter)
- 1 large onion (White or sweet!)
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon himalayan pink salt (fine grind)
- 2 (12 ounce) cans tomato sauce (DO NOT USE KETCHUP)
- 2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (ground, fine)
- 1⁄2 cup white vinegar
- 1 large white onion
Directions
- chop onion into large chunks, using 2/3 of the onion on the bottom of the crock pot.
- place roast into crock pot.
- pour in beer or ale (again, I prefer Kilt Lifter).
- Place remaining 1/3 onion on top of pork roast.
- Cook on "LOW" for 8 hours -- if your crock pot runs hot, only cook initially for 6 or 7 hours.
- Meanwhile:
- chop large white onion into small pieces and place in medium sauce pan.
- Add salt, brown sugar, pepper, paprika, white vinegar and tomato sauce.
- Cook on low for 40 minutes or until onions are beginning to vanish. Cool and store for use on pork.
- When pork has cooked for 6 to 8 hours (depending on crock pot cooking temps), remove pork.
- Place onion in bowl, reserve for later.
- Pour remaining liquid (which will have all the excess fat in it, away and dispose of 2/3 or the liquid -- retain 1/3 for later.
- Using 2 forks, shred the pork.
- Return the pork, the 1/3 liquid and onions to the pot and cook another 3 hours - ON LOW!
- Add the saved sauce and turn to high for 35 minutes.
- Serve on buns, rice or whatever you prefer!
