Our Valentines Day Meal

Pulled pork, coleslaw, and baked beans. One of Kevin's favorite meals. I discovered this pork recipe- it's amazing and SO worth the time. Here's the recipes! (I'm having a hard time uploading pictures right now, I'll try again later.)

Pulled Pork 


Ingredients
3 lb pork shoulder
2 cups water
4 cups white vinegar
1/4 c salt
1 lg onion cut into wedges
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ground mustard
1/2 c brown sugar

Directions
put the pork into the ceramic bowl of a slow cooker. pour enough water and vinegar into the slow cooker to cover pork. (2 to 1 vinegar to water) Add the salt. Refrigerate for 12-24 hours. (I've done both but I think the flavor is definitely better if you do 24 hours- especially if you use a larger pork shoulder)

Drain enough liquid to expose about 1/2 inch of the pork, add the onion. Mix the cumin, chili powder, mustard and brown sugar and rub on the exposed pork.  But the bowl into the base of the slow cooker. Cook on high for 8-10 hours.

Transfer the pork to a cookie sheet with a lip (so the juices don't run everywhere) and shred.

Coleslaw

 Ingredients

1 1/2-2 bags of coleslaw mix from the grocery store.
3/4 c mayonnaise
1/2 c sugar
1 c sour cream
1/4 tsp salt

Directions
Mix together the mayo, sugar, sour cream, and salt. Add to coleslaw mix and toss. Let sit in the fridge overnight.


Not going to lie, the baked beans came from a can. I can't beat Bush's. :)
