Maple Mustard Pulled Pork Recipe

Maple Mustard Pulled Pork

Homemakers Best Tested
By
Andrew Chase
This pulled-pork sandwich is flavoured with a trio of ingredients that Canada produces more of than any other place in the world: maple syrup, mustard seed and, of course, Canadian rye whisky. As well as being convenient, slow cookers don't heat up the kitchen. If you don't have one, you can oven-braise the pork. Serve the sandwiches on whole grain buns with hot mustard, and dill or sour pickles on the side.

Ingredients

3 lbs  (1.5 kg)  pork shoulder or butt roast
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  maple syrup
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  prepared mustard
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  Canadian whisky
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  cider vinegar
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 large onion, minced
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  each salt and black pepper
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  ground clove
3 green green onions, chopped

Preparation

Place pork, fat side up, in slow cooker (if roast is skin-on, cut off skin and reserve).

In bowl, whisk together maple syrup, mustard, whisky, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and cloves; pour over pork (if desired, place skin over top). Cook, turning pork two-thirds of the way through, until fork tender, 4 to 5 hours on high or 8 to 10 hours on low (or braise in 325F/160C oven, 2-1/2 to 3 hours).

Transfer pork to bowl; trim off and discard excess fat (and discard skin). With two forks, shred pork. Skim off and discard fat from cooking liquid; in saucepan over high heat, cook liquid until reduced to about 1-1/2 cups/375 mL. Stir into pork; stir in green onions.

Makes 10 to 12 servings.
