Ingredients

  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes in juice
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic 
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 20 ounces pineapple chunks, with juice
  • 4 pound pork roast

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a blender, combine all ingredients for barbecue sauce and blend it until smooth.
  2. Place the pork roast in a slow cooker and pour the desired amount of barbecue sauce over it. (I used about 3/4 of the sauce for a 4 pound roast.The sauce will cook down some while it is simmering all day).
  3. Cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork shreds easily with a fork.
  4. Using two forks, shred the pork, stir the pulled pork so the sauce mixes all together with the meat.
  5. Allow the pork to cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Serve over spaghetti squash, on buns, in a tortilla or over a baked potato!

Notes

  • Sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. If you want to use the sauce for marinade, simmer the sauce in a pan on the stove top for 45 minutes in order to cook it down and allow the flavors to develop. Then use it as a marinade as normal.
