Ingredients
-
1 (5 pound) pork butt roast
-
1 cup water
-
½ cup orange juice
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
-
1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard, or more to taste
-
1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
Directions
-
Place pork butt in a slow cooker with the fattier side facing upwards. Pour water and orange juice into the slow cooker. Season pork and liquid with salt and pepper.
-
Mix garlic and mustard together in a small bowl; spread over the top of the pork butt. Sprinkle onion over the pork.
-
Cook on Low, turning the butt a few times, until the meat falls apart easily when pulled with a fork, 6 to 8 hours.
-
Remove pork from slow cooker; allow to sit until cool enough to handle. Trim away and discard any visible chunks of fat. Shred remaining pork into strands. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker; stir. Remove portions of pork from slow cooker with a slotted spoon to serve.
Cook’s Note
I used jarred minced garlic, and it worked fine.
I started with a partially frozen roast at 10 p.m. and removed it at around 3 p.m. the next day. Be sure to turn it over a couple of times.
