1 (3 1/2) pound pork butt roast
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups Heinz Tomato Ketchup
1 cup Heinz® Apple Cider Vinegar
½ cup fancy molasses
⅓ cup Heinz® Mustard
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Soft rolls
Directions
Remove all string from the roast and trim away excess fat. Place the chili powder in a bowl; blend in the oil, chili, pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, allspice, salt and garlic to make a paste. Rub all over the pork, working the spice mixture into the meat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Transfer the roast to a slow cooker.
Blend the ketchup with the vinegar, molasses and mustard. Pour mixture over the roast and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until very tender.
Transfer the roast to a large bowl; discard any visible fat. Use two forks to separate the meat into long strands. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the cooking juices and strain into a saucepan. Whisk in the cornstarch and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbling. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker; stir to combine with remaining cooking juices. Serve the meat on soft rolls; drizzle with thickened sauce mixture to taste.
Twists:
Twist 1: For make-ahead convenience, prepare the pork a day before serving. Chill the pulled meat and sauce separately. Before serving, skim off any fat that accumulates on the surface of the sauce. Heat the meat in the oven at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) or a clean slow cooker on the highest setting until warmed through.
Twist 2: For a leftover solution, brush the thickened sauce mixture over chicken, ribs or pork chops while grilling for a delicious glaze.
Twist 3: For a traditional southern-style pulled pork experience, serve the sandwiches topped with tangy coleslaw.
Twist 4: For a smoky southwest variation, add 2 chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the cooking liquid. Serve the pulled meat in soft flour tortillas with guacamole or sour cream.
