Blackstrap Molasses and Sriracha pulled pork

Thank you Pinterest! Yum! I served this on whole wheat buns and everyone loved it! What an easy recipe that makes your house smell delicious while it is cooking all day!

~Recipe~

Spice rub for the pork~

I let my pork sit overnight with the rub on it.
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp smoked paprika*smells sooo good*
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp salt
dash of cayenne pepper


1 yellow onion, sliced thin
3-4 lb pork shoulder

Put the onions in the bottom of the crock pot and cup up the pork into 2 inch pieces and trim off the excess fat. Place the pork on top of the onions.

Sauce~ 1/2 c tomato paste
1/2 c apple cider vinegar
1/4 c blackstrap molasses
2 tsp Srircha hot sauce*more if you like spicy*
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp black pepper
Whisk all together and pour 1/2 over the pork in the slow cooker.  Keep 1/2 sauce for later.  Cook for 8 hours on low.  When the pork is ready drain and reserve the juice that it has cooked in all day.  Shred the pork with 2 forks and put it back in the crock pot. Stir in the reserved sauce and add some of the liquid for juiciness.  So good! I will make double the sauce next time.  We like out BBQ a little more saucy....Enjoy~
