Recipe Summary Balsamic-Blueberry Pulled Pork

I made this one morning before work and when I came home and served it, all I had were slack-jawed full-bellied friends. Served on fresh buns, with a side salad made of spinach, strawberries, and red onions with a poppy seed dressing. All I can say is yum! But be warned, you will be full.

Ingredients | Carolina Pulled Pork

2 ¼ pounds pork shoulder roast

1 cup blueberries

⅓ cup chili sauce

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

1 onion, sliced

6 cloves garlic, minced

5 pineapple rings, chopped

1 tablespoon chipotle pepper flakes

salt to taste

freshly ground black pepper to taste

½ cup beer

Directions

Place pork roast, blueberries, chili sauce, vinegar, onion, garlic, pineapple, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a 4-quart slow cooker. Cook on Low until pork is slightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Transfer pork to a plate and shred with 2 forks. Mash the contents of the slow cooker with a potato masher until fairly smooth. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker and toss to coat in the sauce.
