Jerk pulled pork is a great crowd pleaser and this recipe is super easy to do in a slow cooker. Cooking the pork at a low heat and for a long time, makes the meat fall apart perfectly to produce pulled pork. The jerk seasoning adds a kick, whilst the pineapple juice and sugar adds sweetness, the perfect balance. The recipe calls for a little cooking in the oven which caramelises the sugars in the dish, most slow cooker pots are oven safe but please check first.
I served mine up in wraps, alongside an avocado salsa (avocado, chilli, red onion, lime juice and seasoning, almost like a Mexican guac) and shredded lettuce in a yogurt dressing. This can also be enjoyed with sweet potato and spring greens or even in classic pulled pork buns.
