Citrus Pulled Pork

Citrus Pulled Pork

1 half of a pork loin UNFROZEN.  You can make the whole thing, I just have a smaller crock pot!  When you buy a pork loin at the store, cut it in half...two meals is better than one!  Just freeze one of the halves in a freezer zip lock.
1 orange
1 TBSP of cinnamon
2 TBSP of paprika
1 Quart of orange juice (estimate)
1/2 Cup of maple syrup
2 TBSP of brown sugar
1/2 TSP ginger
1/2 Cup of terryaki sauce
1 onion
1 Bottle of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce

Turn crock pot on HIGH
Brown the pork lion on both sides each for about 5 minutes in a skillet with olive oil
Chop the whole onion into big chunks and put them in the bottom of your pot
Slice orange into thick slices
Place pork loin into the crock pot
Fill the pot with orange juice enough so that most of the meat is covered
Add everything else and whisk the ingredients into the orange juice
Cover the top of the meat with a little paprika and the orange slices
Cover the pot and leave for 7 hours
Turn the meat over if you can in the crock pot at about 4 hours to make sure the top gets done
At this point you can also scrape the white fatty parts off and toss them (GROSS, I KNOW)
Take a large glass dish and cover the bottom with BBQ sauce
Transfer the meat onto the dish.  Pull the meat apart with a fork (or it may just fall apart)
Top with BBQ sauce...eat plain or on some BUNZ!
