It’s a real shame no one has invented a scratch-and-sniff internet yet.
I mean, I wish I could share with you the wonderful aroma that was floating out of the slow cooker and filling my home when I made this yesterday. If you could get just a whiff of it, you would feel peace and joy.
But since scent-enhanced blogging is still just a fantasy, you will have to imagine how good this dish smells. Look at the picture, read the recipe and let yourself be warmed by the aroma of onions and pork and pineapple melting together over low heat for hours.
Another option is to make this dish when you get home tonight. Or stop by my place for dinner. We have leftovers.
Slow Cooker Pineapple Pulled Pork
Onion, 1, chopped
Garlic, 1 clove, chopped
Canned pineapple (no sugar added), 1 14-oz can,
Coconut milk, 1 cup
Bone-in pork shoulder roast, 2-3 pounds
Salt and pepper to taste
- Add all ingredients to slow cooker. Mix well.
- Cook for 7-8 hours over low heat.
- Using two forks, pull meat from bone and shred into chunks.
- If you want, you could top this with all sorts of yummy things, like crushed red pepper, lime juice, fresh cilantro or whatever suits your tastes!
A real winner! Thanks!
Thanks!
If you make it, let me know how it turns out.
Another variation would be to sub out coconut milk for broth. It would be a little less rich and fatty, but I’ll bet the flavor would still be amazing.

My mouth is watering just looking at the picture!! I have just recently bought my first slow cooker… I cannot WAIT to try this! I have made pork once already, but pineapple must give such a fabulous sweet tangy taste… fab!!
Oooh, you are going to LOVE the slow cooker!
It makes everything taste amazing. And so easy!
You know I’m not a big pork person, but I know I could handle this since it’s slow cooked. I can’t wait to try! Looks SO good!
Thanks Alisa! I agree – pork in the slow cooker is yum!
Guess what’s cookin for dinner tomorrow
Something super tasty with pineapple and pork? I hope its a hit.
