Pulled Pork:

- Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let stand for 10 minutes. Shred the pork using two forks. Meanwhile, skim fat from sauce. Transfer to medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes or until reduce by about half.
- Transfer meat and reduced sauce back to the slow cooker set on low to serve and keep warm.
- Sandwich pulled pork, sauce, pickled jalapenos, fried egg in buns. Serve with coleslaw and extra sauce.
Coleslaw:
- Add coleslaw mix, apples and green onions to a large bowl. Whisk mayonnaise with vinegar, Dijon, honey, garlic, salt and pepper until combined. Toss dressing with coleslaw mixture until coated.
Tips
- For even spicier pulled pork, add a fresh serrano or finger chili pepper to the slow cooker.
