List of Ingredients
Sweet 'n' Tangy Pork
1 medium-size onion, finely chopped
1 boneless pork shoulder roast (about 3 pounds)
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bottled chili sauce
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup cornstarch
Recipe
Spread onion over bottom of 5- to 5 1/2-quart slow-cooker.
Place the pork roast on top of the onion.
Stir together the ketchup, chili sauce, 1/2 cup of the apple juice, the honey, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and red-pepper flakes in a small bowl until well blended; pour evenly over the pork roast.
Cover the slow-cooker pot; cook on high for 5 to 6 hours, or on low for 10 to 11 hours, until the pork is very fork-tender.
Remove the pork to a large platter; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Stir together the remaining 1/2 cup apple juice and the cornstarch in a small cup until well blended and smooth.
Stir into the barbecue sauce in the slow-cooker.
Cover the pot and cook on high for 15 minutes or until thickened.
Slice the pork into thin slices; spoon sauce over top.
Serve with mashed potatoes or shredded on kaiser buns, if desired.
Conventional cooking method: Heat oven to 350°.
Brown pork roast on all sides in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes per side.
Remove roast to large plate.
Add onion to pot; sauté until barely softened, about 5 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon of water if onion is too dry.
Whisk together ketchup, chili sauce, 1/2 cup of apple juice, the honey, vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic and pepper flakes in small bowl until smooth.
Return pork to pot along with ketchup mixture.
Cover pot.
Bake in 350° oven 2 hours if you wish to slice the meat, or for 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 hours if you wish to shred the meat.
Remove pork. Stir together remaining 1/2 cup apple juice and cornstarch in cup.
Stir into liquid in pot.
Simmer on stovetop, stirring, until thickened, 3 minutes.
