Pulled Pork Sliders with an Hawaiian Treat

I finally decided to put this recipe that I repeatedly use for company up on my blog! A friend of ours even dreamed about eating my pulled pork. Compared to the traditional BBQ pulled pork, this recipe has both a tiny kick and a sweetness to it. I'm also proud to say that this is a very easy crock pot recipe! Just set it and forget it! My husband also came up with the idea for roasted (or just heated) pineapple from a restaurant we dinned at recently. It's a hit among our family and friends.

Pulled Pork Sliders

What you'll need:
-1 pork shoulder or butt (around 3.5- 4 lbs)
-3 tbsp. brown sugar
-1 tbsp. salt
-1 tbsp. cumin
-1 tbsp. paprika
-2 tsp. pepper
-2 tsp. garlic powder
-2 tsp. onion powder
-2 tsp. dried oregano
-1 tsp. dried parsley
-1 can (12 oz) Dr. Pepper (or any type of root beer)

Combine all the spices/sugar in a small container and shake it to make a good consistency for the rub.

Measure out 12 oz. Dr. Pepper (or other root beer).

Pour the rub on the pork inside the crock pot. 

Poor the root beer on top of the pork. Rub the pork with the spice/root beer mixture as best as you can. *The pork will be pulled later and will get its fair share of flavor later.

Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours (or longer if you need it) until able to be pulled easily.

 Once the pork has been pulled, it can be served immediately! 

The pork is best served on King's Hawaiian rolls. These compliment the flavor so well.

The Roasted Pineapple

What you'll need:

-1 ripe pineapple

-2 tsp. cinnamon

-1 tbsp. white sugar (or brown)

Begin by slicing off the top of the pineapple and slicing the sides off.

After most of the prickliness is off, slice the pineapple into strips until you get to the core.

Line a baking sheet with foil. And preheat your oven to 250 degrees.

Spread the pineapple out accordingly.

After combining the cinnamon and sugar, spread it over the top of the pineapple slices.

Once they are all coated, put them in the oven for about 10 minutes or warmed up sufficiently.

Once they are warmed up, they are ready to enjoy!

And here's what the meal looks like all together!

Happy Eating!!! :)
