Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (3-4 pound) pork loin roast
- 4 cups beef broth, divided
- 2 (6-ounce) cans tomato paste
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about 2 oranges)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- Slider buns
- Coleslaw (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Place the pork loin roast in a slow cooker. Add 3 1/2 cups of beef broth to the slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for about 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender and falling apart.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cranberry BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste, dark brown sugar, fresh orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and fresh cranberries.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat.
- Mix the shredded pork with the cranberry BBQ sauce until well combined.
- Serve the pulled pork on slider buns, topped with coleslaw if desired.
Notes
For a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper. The sliders can be served with coleslaw for added crunch. Leftover pulled pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
