Ingredients
Scale
Pulled Pork Ingredients
- 1 boneless pork shoulder (2-3 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup water
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
BBQ Sauce Ingredients
- 6 medium peaches, peeled and diced
- ⅓ cup bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon chile powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the pulled pork: Mix the paprika, brown sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl and rub all over the pork. Place the pork in a slow cooker set on high, and cook covered for 1 hour. Add the water and cook covered for another 5 hours or until the pork is cooked through and shreds easily. Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred the meat, removing any large pieces of fat.
- Make the BBQ sauce: Place all ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the peaches are tender and the sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from the heat. With an immersion blender or regular blender, purée the sauce until smooth.
- Pour a little more than half the sauce in with the pulled pork and mix to combine.
- Serve pulled pork on buns, topped with coleslaw or your favorite fixings, and the remaining sauce as desired.
