# What You'll Need:

→ Pork

01 - 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat

→ Seasoning

02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

→ Sauce

07 - 1 cup BBQ sauce (gluten-free if needed)
08 - 1/2 cup honey
09 - 1/2 cup peach preserves or peach jam
10 - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

→ Peaches

13 - 2 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (or 1 1/2 cups frozen peach slices)

# Directions:

01 - Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and rub evenly with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
02 - Place the seasoned pork shoulder in the crockpot.
03 - Whisk together BBQ sauce, honey, peach preserves, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl.
04 - Pour the sauce mixture over the pork in the crockpot and scatter peach slices on top and around the pork.
05 - Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the pork is very tender and shreds easily with a fork.
06 - Remove the pork from the crockpot and shred it thoroughly using two forks.
07 - Skim excess fat from the sauce if necessary. Return shredded pork to the crockpot and combine well with sauce and peaches.
08 - Serve hot on buns, over rice, or paired with your preferred sides.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • This crockpot pulled pork lets you relax while rich, sweet, and tangy flavors slowly infuse the meat.
  • Every bite tastes like summer, and you can easily make it gluten-free with a simple swap.
02 -
  • Don’t rush shredding the pork—if it resists, let it cook longer until it practically melts.
  • Adding peaches at the end instead of the beginning keeps them chunky and vibrant, which I learned after my second try.
03 -
  • Letting the sauce and peaches simmer together after shredding gives the pork an irresistibly silky finish.
  • A splash of apple cider vinegar right before serving brightens each bite.
