Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs pork shoulder
1 cup cranberry sauce
2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (chopped)
1 medium onion (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
12 slider buns
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut into large chunks. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear each chunk of pork until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker. Mix cranberry sauce and chipotle peppers in a bowl, then pour over the pork.
Sprinkle chopped onion and minced garlic over the pork. Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours or until fork-tender.
Shred the pork using two forks, then return it to the slow cooker and stir to coat with sauce.
Assemble sliders by spooning pulled pork onto slider buns, adding coleslaw if desired.
