Roast Pork with Onions and Apples
- Pork butt roast
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1½ cups pineapple juice
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 cup beef stock
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 3 whole apples, cored and cut into wedges
- 1 bag pearl onions, peeled, or 3 medium onions, sliced
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- corn starch for thickening, as needed
- Heat BBQ grill on high for 10 minutes. Turn down to medium heat.
- Salt and pepper roast and place on BBQ grill. Brown on each side for 5 to 7 minutes (20 minutes total). Remove from grill and place in BBQ crock pot.
- While meat is on the grill, slice apples and peel onions. Add to juice, stock, sugar, and minced garlic. Mix well. Pour meat in the crock pot.
- Cook on HIGH for 2 hours. Turn heat to LOW and continue cooking for 4 to 5 hours.
- When the meat is done, remove roast from crock pot and shred. Cover with foil and set aside.
- Take the liquid containing the cooked apples and onions and drain off the grease that had cooked out of the meat.
- Placed the liquid in a saucepan, cooking it over medium heat to reduce and thicken it.
- If needed add cornstarch into ¼ cup cold water.
- Just before serving add a bit of cornstarch to thicken it to a gravy consistency, albeit a chunky gravy/sauce because of the cooked apples and onions.
- Serve sauce over pulled pork.
