For a deeper flavor, sear the pork butt on all sides in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This step adds a beautiful caramelized crust. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend the pineapple mixture before pouring it over the pork. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. A pinch of smoked paprika can also add a nice smoky depth. Leftover pulled pork can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, combine the pineapple chunks (with their juice), brown sugar, soy sauce, sliced onion, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, and black pepper. Stir well until the brown sugar is mostly dissolved. (5 minutes)
02
StepCut the pork butt roast into roughly equal-sized quarters. This helps it cook more evenly and speeds up the shredding process. (5 minutes)
03
StepPlace the quartered pork butt into the slow cooker. Pour the pineapple mixture evenly over the pork, ensuring it's well coated. (2 minutes)
04
StepCover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or on High for 3 to 4 hours, until the pork is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. (Cook time: 6-8 hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high)
05
StepOnce the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker, allowing it to soak up all the flavorful juices. (10 minutes)
06
StepServe the pulled pork immediately. Delicious options include: over rice with steamed vegetables, piled onto toasted buns with coleslaw, or served in lettuce wraps for a lighter meal.
