Food on Friday!

With the heat this summer, the crockpot has become a good friend of mine! During the summer months, we enjoy a lot of sandwich/salad combos, and this pulled pork recipe was a winner. If you aren't a fan of vinegar, you may not like this, but for me, it offered a nice departure from the traditional smokey or BBQ based sauces that often accompany pulled pork. Just a drizzle of Sweet Baby Ray's on top was the perfect amount of BBQ flavor!


Easy Crockpot Pulled Pork

1 large Vidalia onion, sliced thin
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (4-6 lb) boneless pork butt or shoulder
¾ cup cider vinegar
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoons dry mustard
½ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Rinse pork roast under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Place onions in crock-pot. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, kosher salt and pepper; mix thoroughly. Rub mixture all over roast and place the roast on top of the onions.

In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, red pepper flakes, sugar, mustard, garlic salt and cayenne pepper; whisk to combine. Drizzle about 1/3 of vinegar mixture over roast. Cover and refrigerate remaining vinegar mixture.

Cover crockpot; cook on low for 10-12 hours. Drizzle about 1/3 of reserved vinegar mixture over roast during last ½ hour of cooking. (***My crockpot tends to cook quickly, so it only took 8 hours for the pork to be cooked and tender).

Remove meat and onions; drain. Chop or shred meat and onions. Serve with remaining vinegar mixture or your favorite barbeque sauce.

Enjoy!
