Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Barbecue Sauce
2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, minced
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes with juice
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons dark molasses
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
¼ cup orange juice
Optional: For additional Mexican-style flavor stir into finished sauce:
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
1½ teaspoons chili powder
6 tablespoons lime juice
The Meat:
3 pound pork shoulder roast
To Serve:
12 hamburger buns, split and buttered
Meanwhile, prepare the barbecue sauce for your snowbird recipe: Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until hot and shimmering (but not smoking). Add the onion and sauté until golden brown (about 7 to 10 minutes) stirring frequently. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered over lowest heat, until slightly thickened about two hours. Pour cooled sauce into a bowl and puree with a hand held immersion blender.
Enjoy: Toast the split buns, butter side down, in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Spoon barbecued pork into the toasted buns. Add additional from bowl of reserved barbecue sauce as desired. Serve with a side of coleslaw.
Makes 12 servings.
