Slow Cooker Spicy Peach Pulled Pork Recipe #SundaySupper

I have to admit, for the longest time, I rarely used my slow cooker with the exception of keeping things warm while entertaining. As my business has evolved, life continues to get busier and I knew that it was time to make friends with this thing that sat in my pantry and taking up space. I started with a Korean Pulled Pork recipe inspired by the talented KimchiMom. I put my Portuguese spin on her recipe and my family was immediately in love with the Portuguese Spicy Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Since it was such a hit, I decided to experiment a bit more and the Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili was born. Not only did my kids love it, their friends raved about it and it is now a must have when the gang is all together.

During football season, as our house fills with friends screaming at the television throughout the day and evening, my Football Sunday Teriyaki Pulled Pork scored a touchdown! After three slow cooker hits, it was time to give beef a turn and see what kind of delicious meal we could come up with. We loved the versatility of this Slow Cooker Asian Beef recipe. It’s amazing flavor was perfect for sandwiches or over rice and noodles.

I seriously found myself questioning what took me so long to fall in love with my slow cooker. I had a perception of bland, gray, mushy food – but slow cooking does not have to be that way and I am proof that you can make delicious dishes in your slow cooker.

So… I got a little daring and tried something that surprised even me. Who in their right mind would add fruit to a slow cooker recipe? You got it — this girl! This recipe for Slow Cooker Spicy Peach Pulled Pork is fantastic. It is the delicious combination of sweet and salty that just bursts with flavor in every single bite. My kids said that this was the best slow cooker recipe yet!

We loved making Slow Cooker Spicy Peach Pulled Pork Sliders and served them with a Peach and Spinach Salad. The combination of flavors were just fantastic and honestly, a tad unexpected.

  3. Isabel, I actually gasped when I read the title of this recipe and saw the photo of that sandwich. I cannot wait to give this a try. And if I didn’t have leftovers I need to use up today, I’d be racing to the store for everything I need. Pinned and this will be on our table very soon. Great sounding recipe.

  5. I love pairing pork with fruit, so I know this pulled pork must have been extraordinary! Since I’ve dusted off my crock pot, it might as well stay on the kitchen counter with all the terrific recipes shared this week.

  13. This pork recipe sounds so good, I love a sweet/savory combo! Ever since I got the newer crockpot with a programmable timer that switches to a warm setting, I don’t have to worry about burnt or overly mushy food. It is a clean-eating life-saver for me on busy days!

  17. I’ve never thought about slow cooking fruit, but the pictures look delicious! I love fruit, so I might have to give this a go.

  18. I made this last night and LOVED it. The flavor of the sauce mixed into the pulled pork works perfectly. Saving the ‘calories’ from the bun for dessert, I plated the pulled pork over thin slices of peaches and avocados. It worked out beautifully.
