Pineapple Pulled Pork

Ingredients

• 3 lb. pasture raised pork roast
• 1 quart of homemade chicken broth (or water if you’re out of broth)
• 15 oz. canned tomatoes (we like to use frozen tomatoes from our summer garden or CSA)
• 14 oz can of pineapple chunks
• 1 onion, coarsely chopped
• 6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
• 2 T. mustard
• 3 T. apple cider vinegar
• 2 T. paprika
• 1 T. smoked chipotle (less or none if you don't want any spice)
• 1 ½ t. salt
• ½ - 1 t. pepper

Instructions

1. Put the pork (frozen or thawed) in your slow cooker and pour in about a quart of broth.
2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours
3. When cooked, shred the pork and remove any bones or gristle
4. Combine all other ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
5. You may not need all of the sauce, add how much you think you'd like to the slow cooker with the shredded pork (we typically freeze about half of the sauce for a future batch)
6. Cook on high with the lid off for 1+ hour, stirring occasionally OR leave the top on for a period if you are around.

The goal with the last step is to cook the sauce down and give the flavors time to meld. Freeze the extra sauce to use for another batch.
