Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bourbon Mango Pulled Pork Dish.
Step 1
Start by peeling the ripe mangos and carefully removing the pits.

Set the pits aside in your slow cooker, and chop the mango flesh into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Next, take your pork shoulder and season it generously with ground black pepper, kosher salt, and a teaspoon of chipotle chile powder for a delightful kick.
Step 4
Place the seasoned pork into the slow cooker, right on top of those mango pits.
Step 5
Now, pour balsamic vinegar and water over the pork, creating a flavorful base for your dish.
Step 6
Cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic on Low heat for 5 to 8 hours, or until the pork is incredibly tender and practically falling apart.

Once the cooking time is up, carefully drain the pork, discarding both the cooking liquid and the mango pits.

Using two forks, shred the pork into delicious, juicy pieces.

While the pork is cooking, take the chopped mango and blend it until smooth in a blender.

Step 11
Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the sweet and spicy aromas to fill your kitchen.

Once itโs reached that perfect consistency, stir in your favorite barbecue sauce and remove the saucepan from the heat.
