Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 6-8 hours.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Return the meat to the slow cooker, mixing well with the juices.
Serve with hearty bread. (The meat will keep warm nicely in a low crock pot for up to 2 hours.)

Notes

* If you want your jerk pork a bit less spicy, feel free to cut the red pepper flakes back a bit. If you do so, also cut back the brown sugar by the same amount. The sweetness balances out the heat, and if you change the heat without changing the sugar, your pork will be a bit off-balance in sweetness.
This recipe from 2014 was updated in May 2017. We made the Jerk Pork even tastier! Enjoy!
