1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (about 3 pounds)
2 cans (11.30 ounces each) mango nectar
1 can (8 ounces) pineapple tidbits, drained
1/4 cup mango chutney
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
6 green onions, thinly sliced
12 Hawaiian sweet hamburger buns
Chopped jalapeno pepper, optional
1. Rub salt and pepper over roast. Transfer to a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix the mango nectar, pineapple, chutney, lemon juice and zest. Add to slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 6 to 8 hours. Cool slightly.
2. Remove roast from slow cooker. When cool enough to handle, shred meat with two forks. Strain cooking juices, discarding fruit; skim fat. Return cooking juices and meat to slow cooker. Stir in green onion. Serve on buns. If desired, top with jalapeno.
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 8 hours
YIELD: 12 servings
I love mangoes and pineapple. They go so well with pork. Serve these little sandwiches with a spring salad.
