Pulled Pork BBQ Sliders

Happy Saturday!  Hope everyone is recovering from all their Black Friday shopping, I heard it was serious war fare this year.  I had planned on making Turkey Pot Pie with our turkey leftovers, but I came home last night from being out all day and my adorable husband had eaten every last bit....but I don't mind. So tonight instead we are having pulled pork sliders! These are cute little sandwiches I originally came up with after I had leftover pork roast.  So this is a great for using up left over roast.  I cooked the pork butt in the crockpot, with apples and a little salt and pepper. My BBQ sauce is so easy too, and you can pretty much make it any kind you like, I prefer lots of vinegar and sugar. Some like a smokey taste. I will give the two different variations. Here ya go....

Pulled Pork BBQ Sliders with Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce

You will need:
2-2.5 lb Pork Loin or Butt Roast
3 Granny Smith Apples, quartered
Kosher Salt

1 package Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

1 1/2 cups Ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp apple juice (optional)
1/2 tsp cumin (optional for a smokey flavor)

Directions:
Remove string from roast, and rinse well.
Cook pork surround meat with apples, and salt on low for 6-8 hours. No need to add extra liquid.  At the end of the cooking time, remove pork from crock pot, shred with a fork, return to crock pot. In the meantime, in a small to medium sauce pot cook on low ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, juice, and cumin.  Stirring until a rich maroon color is reached. Pour over shredded pork. The Hawaiian rolls are optional, I like mine toasted, so separate rolls and slice in half. On a baking sheet turn insides up and broil just until golden brown. Serve with coleslaw or my husbands favorite mac and cheese!! Enjoy!

  1. mmmmm! I love pulled pork sandwiches...Now I want to make this and since I am in Florida; I would have to purchase all the stuff to make it....Last time I made this at home in Indiana, I froze what I couldn't eat and had it again a month later. Sounds like a plan....
