3–4 lb pork shoulder (also called pork butt), trimmed of excess fat
1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: extra BBQ sauce or pineapple chunks for serving
Season the Pork:
Sprinkle pork shoulder with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub it in to coat all sides.
Add to Slow Cooker:
Place pork in the slow cooker. Add barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, crushed pineapple, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Stir slightly to mix the sauce around the meat.
Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until pork is very tender and pulls apart easily.
Shred the Pork:
Remove pork and shred it with two forks. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir to coat in the sauce.
Serve:
Serve on buns, in tacos, over rice, or with coleslaw. Garnish with pineapple chunks or green onions if desired.
For a spicier version, add 1–2 tablespoons of sriracha or diced jalapeños.
Leftovers freeze well—store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
Use Hawaiian sweet rolls for sliders—perfect for parties!
