Ginger Beer Pulled Pork Sliders

This is one of our new favorite recipes!  Such a unique and delicious take on BBQ sliders.  Sounds random....but they are gooooo--ood!  It also creates some wonderful leftovers for a couple of days.

Ginger Beer Pulled Pork Sliders

Meat:
4 lb. pork roast (we use the one from Sam's Club and cut it in half if only serving our family)
12 oz. bottle of ginger beer (you can find this at Harmon's or Trader Joe's--or you can also use a good quality ginger ale)
11 oz. can of peach nectar
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. freshly cracked pepper
1/2 tsp. liquid smoke (optional)
1 dozen small rolls

In a medium bowl, which together peach nectar, brown sugar, salt, garlic, pepper and liquid smoke.  Set aside.  In a roasting pan or slow cooker, place trimmed pork.  Pour the bottle of ginger been over the meat, and repeat with peach mixture. (I just mix all the ingredients together in the crock pot and then roll the roast in the mixture so it gets flavor on all sides).

Cover and bake at 300 for 4-5 hours.  If using slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 5 hours or on low for 10 hours.

When meat pulls apart easily, remove and let meat rest for 10 mins.

Pull apart with forks and mix with Honey Peach BBQ Sauce

Honey Peach BBQ Sauce:
1 1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 c. fresh peach puree (I use frozen peaches)
1/2 c. apple cider vinegar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. honey
1 TBSP honey mustard
1TBSP Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (only use 1 if you want it less spicy)
1/2 tsp. minced garlic

Combine all ingredients in a medium sized sauce pan and simmer about 1 hour, or until reduced by half.  Set aside until ready to use.

Black Pepper Coleslaw:
1 head of shredded cabbage
1/4 c. shredded carrot
1/2 c. mayo
1/4 c. sour cream
1/4 c. milk
2 TBSP sugar
1 1/2 TBSP white vinegar
Approx 1/4 of an onion--shredded
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (add less for less spice)
1 1/2 tsp. honey mustard
1/2 tsp. salt

In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients except cabbage.  Stir in cabbage and mix well.  Refrigerate until ready to use.

To make sliders:
Lightly toast your rolls.  Top with Honey Peach BBQ Pork and Black Pepper Coleslaw (we also love to add a slice of cheddar cheese).  Serve immediately.  Enjoy!
