Ingredients
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes in juice
- 1 onion diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 20 ounces pineapple chunks, with juice
- 4 pound pork roast
Instructions
- In a blender, combine all ingredients for barbecue sauce and blend it until smooth.
- Place the pork roast in a slow cooker and pour the desired amount of barbecue sauce over it. (I used about 3/4 of the sauce for a 4 pound roast.The sauce will cook down some while it is simmering all day).
- Cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork shreds easily with a fork.
- Using two forks, shred the pork, stir the pulled pork so the sauce mixes all together with the meat.
- Allow the pork to cook for an additional 30 minutes.
- Serve over spaghetti squash, on buns, in a tortilla or over a baked potato!

Notes
Sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. If you want to use the sauce for marinade, simmer the sauce in a pan on the stove top for 45 minutes in order to cook it down and allow the flavors to develop. Then use it as a marinade as normal.
