Sweet Onion and Peach Pulled Pork Sandwiches

 Ingredients:

·         4 to 5 pound pork shoulder, bone-in

·         1 (16-ounce) jar Smokin’ Texas Gourmet Texas Sweet Onion and Peach Salsa

·         1 can Coca Cola Zero (regular Coke or Dr. Pepper may also be used)

·         Smokin’ Texas Gourmet Spiced Dry Rub, to taste

·         Smokin’ Texas Gourmet Garlic Salt and Pepper seasoning, to taste

·         Smokin’ Texas Gourmet BBQ Sauce, to taste

·         Hamburger or slider buns

·         Pickle, for garnish

Directions:

1.      Season the pork shoulder liberally on all sides with the dry rub and garlic, salt and pepper.

2.      Add the pork shoulder to a crock pot or slow cooker. Add the jar of salsa and can of Coca Cola.

3.      Cook the pork on high in a slow cooker for 6 hours. Baste the pork with the liquid every 2 hours if you like.

4.      Remove the pork shoulder from the cooker.

5.      Pour the liquid from the cooker into a bowl or large measuring cup. Let it stand for 2 to 4 minutes, allowing the fat to come to the top. Skim the fat with a spoon or basting siphon and then add liquid back to the cooker.

6.      Pull the pork into shreds. Add the pulled pork back to the cooker and mix. Cook for 1 to 2 more hours.

7.      Serve the pork on a slider bun and garnish with pickle.

*Recipe Note: For barbecue pulled pork, add 1/4 cup of Smokin’ Texas Gourmet BBQ sauce into the liquid before putting the pulled pork back into the cooker. For a Spanish or Mexican flavor, substitute 1 jar of Smokin’ Texas Gourmet Tomatillo Salsa for the Sweet Onion Peach Salsa.
