Ooooooooh I like this thread; I'll be buying one of these soon so these recipes are welcome

10 of Pentacles Pulled Pork

6 lb pork roast
2 onions, sliced, divided
1 onion, chopped
1 TBS chopped Garlic
1/2 C apple cider vinegar
1/2 C honey
1 C water
2 16 oz bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce

Slice up the two onions nice and thin. Spread one of them on the bottom of the crock pot. Put the pork roast in (I usually go for a shoulder roast) with the fat side up. This way the fat will run down and make your meat nice and tender.

Pour in vinegar and water. Then pour the honey over the top of the roast. Add the chopped garlic to the top of the roast. Put the other onion on top of the roast. You can add salt and pepper here if you like. I don’t.

Put the lid on the crockpot and turn it on low. For a 6 lb piece of meat, you want to cook it at least 10-12 hours. This is reminiscent of the work you do to get to the 10 of Pentacles point in your life. You have to wait for the goodness that is pulled pork!

When the time is done, turn the heat off and walk away for at least an hour. This is for two reasons. One, you want it to cool a bit. Two, by letting it sit, you are letting the juice go back into the meat and it will be better for it.

Scrape the onions on the top to the side. Then pull the fat layer off and lay it to the side. If you have dogs or cats, they can have a SMALL piece each. I’m talking a 1-2″ square max unless you really really like a sick pet that you have to clean up after. EWWW ARWEN! This is a recipe for Gods’ sake. Sorry, but that had to be said.

Now take two forks and start pulling. If you have never done this, you will get a kick out of how easy this is! Make sure you pull the bones out and throw them away (or save them to make a soup stock with since the marrow will be heavenly at this point.)

Once the meat is shredded, depending on your time, you can add the BBQ sauce. Then you want to turn that slow cooker back on low for another 4-6 hours. This will let that sauce soak in so deep. Mmmm!

Serve with hamburger buns, coleslaw and extra napkins!

ENJOY!

For those who have a slow cooker, what size would you all recommend??

RockOn · 09-27-2012, 07:38 PM

Shoney's Beef Cabbage Soup recipe is fabulous. You can easily google it. My apologies for not typing it into this post but am using a cell phone.

I prefer using the light colored kidney beans. The dark ones are a bit strong flavored for me. You will not regret giving this recipe a go. A friend at work told me she adds a can of niblets corn to hers.

Edit

Hey Leigh, here is the cooker I would recommend. (And I like the dial over the digital heat speed.)

Hamilton Beach 6 quart with the fasten down lid. You can take it while your food is hot to potluck parties. I believe I could roll my truck on the way to an eating party and nothing would spill out. *laughing*

Everybody has a favorite pulled pork recipe

Mine is so easy you will be shocked...

Put pork roast (I usually do a pork loin roast) in crockpot
add about 16 oz of Dr. Pepper (or Cola)
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Remove the roast and drain the soda. Then add that sucker back into the crockpot, shred it and add a bottle of your favorite bbq sauce (mine is KC Masterpiece).

Voila! My friends go nuts for this

PinkieLee · 09-28-2012, 08:03 AM

I am all about the super easy recipes! D's favorite is roast and rice & gravy. Here ya go...

Put roast (I like a shoulder roast with not a lot of fat) in crockpot.
add 1 package of dry brown gravy and 1 package of dry mushroom gravy
add about two cups of water
flip that roast a couple time to coat with gravy mixture and leave fat side on top.

Cover and cook about 8 - 10 hours (depending on the size). It will be so juicy it freaking falls apart. Serve over rice or egg noodles

anyone remember seeing a slow cooker pumpkin custard but made with fresh pumpkin, not canned? I had it saved but now can't find it. There are recipes with canned but the one I'm looking for uses diced fresh pumpkin, evaporated milk, of course all the spices, eggs whites.

If anyone has one that they have tried that's really yummy, fresh, please hook me up?
