Pulled Pork BBQ with Cole Slaw

Pulled Pork BBQ:
  • 3 to 3-1/2 lbs. pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 c. ketchup
  • 1/3 c. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 c. brown sugar
  • 1/4 c. tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp. paprika (smoked paprika preferred, but regular is fine)
  • 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp. mustard (yellow preferred, but use what you have)
  • 1-1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1-1/4 tsp. pepper
Place the pork in a crock pot coated lightly with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the remaining ingredients to make a sauce. Pour the sauce over the pork. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours, or high for 3 - 5 hours, depending on your crock pot. Remove pork and let rest for 15 minutes. Using 2 forks, pull the meat apart into shreds. Bring the sauce to a boil. Then add the pork back into the sauce. Serves 10 to 12.

In a small bowl, mix the mayo, sugar, vinegar, mustard, and celery salt. Pour over the shredded cabbage and mix well. Serves 12 to 14. This recipe comes from: From Amish and Mennonite Kitchens by Phyllis Pellman Good.
