Crock Pot Peach and Bourbon Pulled Pork
Although we tend to think of crock pot recipes as ones we make during the cold months of the year, slow cooking meals in the summertime is great because it doesn’t heat up the house. Plus, not all crock pot recipes are heavy, as this tender pulled pork recipe proves. Peach preserves, dijon mustard, and a nip of bourbon combine to create a sweet and savory, buttery-warm sauce that slow cooks with pork roast until it’s fall apart tender. I’m not drooling, you’re drooling. Even better, Crock Pot Peach and Bourbon Pulled Pork is one of those magical “toss and go” crock pot recipes. No searing, no chopping, no fussing – simply add all the ingredients into the crock pot then press “on”. Six to eight hours later you’ve got yourself a luscious dish that’s perfect for piling onto buns then topping with vinegary coleslaw. DELICIOUS!
How to Make This Recipe
Start by trimming a 3-4lb boneless pork butt (the shoulder roast of a pig) of excess fat then cut the roast into 4-6 big pieces and place into the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
Next whisk up the peach-bourbon-dijon sauce that the pork will slow cook in. That’s:
heaping 1/2 cup peach preserves (I like Bonne Maman) 1/2 cup chicken broth 1/3 cup bourbon (I like Maker’s Mark or Bulleit) 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
FYI: the bourbon flavor will taste VERY STRONG in the sauce but completely mellows out in the final dish.
Turn each piece of the pork over with tongs to coat in the sauce then cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or until the pork shreds easily with a fork.
Strain the cooking liquid through a fat separator then combine the pulled pork with the juices and serve it on up! Like I said, this crock pot pulled pork is divine on a bun with coleslaw but tossed onto tortilla chips with pulled cheese? HEAVEN. However ya serve it, I hope you love this sweet and sassy pulled pork recipe — enjoy!
