Description

This slow cooker honey mustard pulled pork is so punchy and sweet, and the glossy sauce clings nicely to the pork. Serve on slider buns.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (3 1/2 pound) pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 3 pieces
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 12 slider buns, or as needed
  • 3/4 cup pickled red onions, or as needed

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Stir together salt, granulated garlic, onion powder, dry mustard, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture evenly over pork.
  3. Place pork in an 8-quart slow cooker. Stir honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, Worcestershire, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Pour 1 cup Dijon mixture over pork; cover and refrigerate remaining 1/2 cup. Cover the slow cooker, and cook until fork tender, flipping pork halfway through cooking, 5 to 6 hours on High or 8 to 10 hours on Low.
  4. Transfer pork to a cutting board, reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid in the slow cooker; discard remaining cooking liquid. Whisk reserved Dijon mixture into reserved cooking liquid. Shred pork with 2 forks and stir into sauce.
