Ingredients
For the pulled pork
- 8 pounds pork butt or shoulder
- 2 ½ cups Martinelli’s Cider or Apple Juice divided
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
For the tacos
- 2 apples
- 24 corn tortillas taco-sized
- 1 pound pulled pork
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup arugula leaves washed and dried
- honey for drizzling
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the meat. Place in a slow cooker. Top with 2 cups Martinelli’s Cider or Apple Juice. Sprinkle with cinnamon, cloves, salt and peppers. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup cider/juice. Cook on high for 6 to 8 hours, until pork is cooked and falls off the bone.
- Transfer to a baking dish. Use two forks to shred pork. Remove any excess fat.
- Cut apples into matchsticks — to do this, quarter then slice them vertically and horizontally to get long and skinny pieces.
- Warm tortillas. Fill with pork and top with apple matchsticks, dried cranberries and arugula leaves. Drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.
