Instructions
Make the Pear BBQ Sauce -1 Using a sharp knife, chop the pears into bite-sized pieces. Toss with cinnamon, ginger and allspice. -1 Add apple juice. -1 Cook over medium heat until the pears soften. (About 10 minutes.) -1 Add apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, tomato juice, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Simmer on medium-low for 20 minutes. -1 When the pears have completely broken down, run the sauce through the blender until smooth. -1 Pour into a mason jar, and let cool. -1 Store in the refrigerator if making in advance until it’s time to toss with the pork. Make the Coleslaw -1 In a liquid measuring cup, combine the olive oil, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Pear BBQ Sauce, yellow mustard, lemon juice and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until combined. -1 In a large glass bowl, measure out the tri-color coleslaw and the sliced pear. -1 Pour the dressing on top of the ingredients in the large bowl and toss with tongs until combined. (Do this RIGHT BEFORE serving, as the slaw will wilt the longer it sits in the dressing.) -1 Keep at room temperature until serving time. Make the Pulled Pork -1 Place the sliced pears in the base of the electric pressure cooker (Instant Pot). -1 Pour in the apple juice. -1 Place the pork on top of the sliced pears and apple juice. -1 Season the pork with the cinnamon, salt and pepper. -1 Please the lid on the electric pressure cooker and seal. -1 Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. -1 When the timer goes off, let the pressure naturally release for 5-10 minutes, then quick release until all the steam is gone. -1 Remove the lid, and remove the pork. (It should be falling apart as you do this with tongs!) -1 Shred the pork using two forks. Make the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches -1 Mix the pulled pork with ¼ cup of the cooking liquid and the Pear BBQ Sauce. -1 Serve on a Hawaiian bun with the slaw and additional barbecue sauce.
