Ingredients
 

For the Pulled Pork

  • 4-5 pounds bone-in pork shoulder or pork butt
  • 20 ounce can crushed pineapple undrained
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Pineapple Slaw

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 cup finely diced fresh pineapple
  • 1 diced jalapeno
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups coleslaw mix

For the Sliders

  • 12-16 Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce for topping

Instructions

  • Optional step: Heat 2 tablespoons neutral oil in a skillet on medium high heat. Season the pork shoulder on all sides with salt and pepper, then sear 1-2 minutes per side.
  • In the crockpot, whisk together the crushed pineapple, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and cover with the sauce.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is fall-apart tender.
  • Remove the pork and shred using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and toss to coat in the juices. Let it soak for 15 minutes before serving.
  • While the pork is cooking, make the pineapple slaw. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pineapple, jalapeño, red onion, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Add the coleslaw mix and diced pineapple and toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To assemble, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and pile on a generous portion of pulled pork, a spoonful of pineapple slaw, and a drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Serve immediately.
