Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 kg boneless pork shoulder
  • 355 mL can ginger ale
  • FOR SAUCE:
  • 1 cup apple jelly
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup apple-cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup bourbon
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp Tabasco sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
Add to grocery list
  1. Place onion slices in an even layer in slow-cooker insert. Trim skin and any excess fat from pork. Lay over onion. Pour in ginger ale. Cover and cook on low until meat is very tender, about 8 hours.
  2. Remove pork to a large cutting board and onion to a large bowl. Discard liquid. Using two forks, shred pork.
  3. Whisk apple jelly with ketchup, vinegar, bourbon, Worcestershire, Tabasco, garlic powder and ground ginger in a large saucepan, then set over medium-high. Bring to a boil, whisking occasionally, until apple jelly is dissolved and sauce is smooth, 6 to 8 min. Add shredded pork and onion. Stir until all meat is coated with sauce. Remove from heat. Serve on toasted kaiser buns with coleslaw. Pork will keep well, refrigerated, up to 3 days.
  • Wine Pairing:

    A less dry red is a perfect match for saucy stews and comforting slow-cooked meals. This one is peppery with plenty of juicy dark fruit. Sebeka Cabernet Pinotage, South Africa, $13

  3. Had friends in for dinner, the pulled pork was great, topped with the cole slaw, inside a toasted bun. A must to try again!

  4. Sooooo good. We were eating pulled pork for days. I didn't have any bourbon on hand but used more ginger ale in the glaze and it was excellent.

  7. This was absolutely delicious. I didn't have any bourbon on hand, so I used Jack Daniels and it turned out great! Very easy recipe.

  8. I love this - though I have to omit the ginger because it upsets my stomach.

  10. This was delicious! I didn't have bourbon either so I used Crown Royal rye whiskey and also used fresh ginger and garlic instead of powder. It's definitely a make-again recipe!
