Ingredients

For the Pork

3 lbs pork shoulder (Boston butt), trimmed of excess fat
1 cup Texan Heartland Caribbean Pineapple Hot Sauce
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
Salt & pepper, to taste

For the Slaw

2 cups shredded green cabbage
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp lime juice
Salt & pepper, to taste

For Serving

12 slider buns
Extra Texan Heartland Caribbean Pineapple Hot Sauce for drizzling

Directions

Prepare the Pork: Place pork shoulder in a slow cooker. In a bowl, whisk together Texan Heartland Caribbean Pineapple Hot Sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour over pork.
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours, or on high for 4–5 hours, until pork is fork-tender.
Shred: Remove pork, shred with two forks, then return to the sauce and toss well to coat.
Make the Slaw: In a separate bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Sliders: Toast slider buns lightly if desired. Pile pulled pork onto buns, top with slaw, and drizzle with extra Texan Heartland Caribbean Pineapple Hot Sauce.
Serve: Plate as individual sliders for easy sharing.

Recipe Note

Hosting a party? Keep the shredded pork warm in the slow cooker and set up a slider bar with toppings like pickled jalapeños, pineapple chunks, or pepper jack cheese. Guests can build their own for a fun, customizable meal.
