Yield:
3 cups pulled pork

Ingredients

  • 2 - 2 ½ pound boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed of fat and cut into large chunks

  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup)

  • 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoon molasses

  • 2 tablespoon vinegar

  • 2 tablespoon coarse grain brown mustard

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ cup dill or sweet pickle relish

  • 6 - 8 hoagie buns, split and toasted

  • Mayonniase

  • Pickle slices (optional)

Directions

Fast 35 minute cook time:

  1. Place roast and onion in a 4- to 6-qt. electric or stove-top pressure cooker. In a medium bowl combine the next eight ingredients (through relish). Pour over meat and onion in cooker. Set an electric cooker on high pressure to cook 35 minutes. For a stove-top cooker, bring up to pressure over medium-high; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure. Cook 35 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow pressure to release naturally 15 minutes. Release any remaining pressure. Open lid carefully.

Slow 10 hour low or 5 hour high cook time

  1. In a 4- to 5-qt. slow cooker place roast and onion. In a medium bowl combine the next eight ingredients (through relish). Pour over meat and onion in cooker. Cover and cook on low 10 to 11 hours or on high 5 to 6 hours.

To Serve:

  1. Remove meat from cooker, reserving liquid. Using 2 forks, shred meat. Add enough of the cooking liquid to meat to moisten. Serve in buns with mayonnaise and, if desired, pickle slices.
