- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
- Salt
- Kelly’s Habanero Pepper Jelly
- Brown sugar
- ½c Apple cider vinegar
- 1/3c Worcestershire sauce
To make pulled pork: warm some Kelly’s Habanero jelly in a small saucepan. Rub the pork all over with salt, brush with warmed Kelly’s Habanero Jelly and then coat it with brown sugar, patting it on as best you can.
Place the onion in the bottom of the slow cooker or cook the pork in a roasting pan, covered with foil, in an oven just hot enough to keep in simmering.
Place the pork shoulder on top of the onion and drizzle in the vinegar and Worcestershire.
Cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork falls off the bone and shreds apart easily.
Remove the pork from the crock pot or roasting pan. Remove any whole pieces of fat. Shred. Season to taste with salt.
Pour the cooking juices into a container and chill. Remove the fat the rises to the surface. In a sauce pan, mix equal amounts of the cooking juices and Kelly’s Habanero Pepper Jelly and whisk to combine over medium low heat. When combined, toss with the pulled pork.
