Instructions
Pulled Pork
Trim the fat cap (the thick bit of fat on one side of the pork shoulder). Leave small bits of fat in tact as this is what gives the meat flavor.
Combine seasonings in a small bow and rub all over the meat.
Place the roast in the slow cooker (do not add liquid) and cook on high for 6-8 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours.
Remove meat and bone from the slow cooker. Discard the bone and shred the meat with two forks. Empty the slow cooker, reserving the liquid in another container if desired, and place desired amount of shredded meat back in. Stir in barbecue sauce (use your judgment on the amount of sauce). To add sweetness, add about 1/4 cup of crushed pineapple (optional). Cook on low for 30 minutes to an hour.
Pineapple Coleslaw
Combine oil, pineapple, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl.
Add cabbage and onions, stir to coat and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
To assemble sliders
Heat small rolls or buns in the oven or microwave, and slice open. Top with barbecue pulled pork and pineapple coleslaw.
