Cranberry BBQ Pulled Pork

 My husband and sons just LOVE pulled pork.  I'm not a huge fan but I'm game to make a meal that everyone willingly eats.  Over the past year I think we've made pulled pork almost once a month and I like to mix it up and try out "different" recipes.  



For our pulled pork I like to use pork tenderloin since it's a leaner cut of meat.  I was afraid it wouldn't pull well since it's not as fatty as a pork butt but with our meat claws I had no problems at all. 

Combining just 4 ingredients it was so easy!

Ingredients:

pork tenderloin (we always cook 2!)

1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce

1 can whole berry cranberry sauce

1-2 Tablespoons dried minced onion 


I gathered all my ingredients, put everything into our large crock pot and set it on low for the entire day.


When I lifted off the lid at dinnertime it looked like this:


I pulled out the tenderloins and shredded them.  Then added in scoops of the juices until I had a consistency I liked.   My boys noticed the cranberries but didn't bother picking them out.  I think it gave a nice added flavor kick now and then. 



We served the pork over rice with a side of vegetables. 



I love quick and simple meals like this! 

Have you ever tried combining pork and cranberry?

  5. Never tried cranberries with pork, but sounds like a good combination. I love the tartness of cranberries. I've also never made pulled pork but I know hubby and son like it too. Maybe I'll give the recipe a try. Thanks for sharing!
