Ingredients
UnitsScale
3–4lbs pork shoulder or pork butt
1cup Hawaiian-style BBQ sauce
1/2cup pineapple juice
1cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix together BBQ sauce, pineapple juice, crushed pineapple, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce.
Let it cook on low for another 15-30 minutes to soak up the flavor.
Serve warm on sandwich buns, over rice, or in tacos. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
This recipe works best with a fatty cut like pork shoulder for maximum tenderness and flavor.
