Chipotle Maple Low & Slow Pulled Pork
Cook: 10:00 – 12:00 LOW, or 7:00 – 9:00 HIGH
Serves 6 - 10
• 1 (4 - 5 lb.) pork shoulder
• 10 cloves garlic
• 1 cup apple cider
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 6 – 10 crusty rolls, for serving (and dunking
1. Using a small, sharp knife, cut deep slits into all sides of the pork shoulder and bury 1 garlic clove
in each slit.
2. In a large skillet, pan sear the pork shoulder on all sides in smoking oil over medium-high heat
until a rich, brown exterior is achieved. Remove browned pork and set aside.
3. Deglaze the skillet with apple cider, making sure all flavorful brown bits are incorporated into the
juice. Add cider and all Chipotle Maple Sauce ingredients to the stoneware pot. Mix until well
combined.
4. Add the pork shoulder back to the stoneware pot. Close the lid.
5. Program the Slow Cooker for LOW; depending on the amount of food in the stoneware pot, set
the TIME between 10:00 – 12:00 hours or cook on HIGH between 7:00 – 9:00 hours.
6. Pork is done when the meat falls apart. Strain liquid and degrease. Using 2 forks, pull pork into
tasty strands of meat. Stuff rolls with pork and douse with sauce. Serve with sweet potato chips
and baked beans.
