Description

Pulled pork and pineapple are tender, juicy, and easy to make in the slow cooker. Just throw it together, let it cook, and come home to a tasty meal.

Ingredients

1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened crushed pineapple in 100% pineapple juice
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (3 pound) boneless pork butt roast

Directions

1 Combine pineapple, garlic, cumin, salt, red pepper flakes, and pepper in a bowl.
2 Place pork roast into a slow cooker. Pour pineapple mixture over top. Cover and cook on Low until pork is slightly pink in the center and cooked through, about 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
3 Remove pork roast from the slow cooker. Cut away any fat, then shred meat using two forks. Return meat to the slow cooker and mix with the juices.
