Ingredients
- 250 ml (1 cup) no-sugar-added natural apple juice
- 250 ml (1 cup) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) boneless pork shoulder roast
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
Sauce
- 125 ml (½ cup) water
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) ketchup
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup
Preparation
- In the slow cooker, combine the apple juice and ½ cup of applesauce.
- Place pork in slow cooker and cover with remaining applesauce. Add onions and garlic. Cover and cook for 8 hours on low.
- Remove pork from slow cooker without cooking juices and, using two forks, shred. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, strain the cooking juices through a sieve and pour the resulting liquid into a saucepan.
- Add remaining sauce ingredients and stir to combine. Heat over medium heat to reduce sauce by half. Add to the shredded meat and mix well. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- For more crispness, spread the pulled pork coated with sauce on a baking sheet and put in the oven at "Broil" at high temperature for 5-10 minutes just before serving.
- Serve in warm rolls with coleslaw.
