Whoa, this is one of the best things I have ever made and quite a splurge as we usually try to keep our carbs down. I really wanted to give this idea a try though! The chipotle was kindof of a whim, but hey, the way I think, anything worth adding pumpkin and maple to is worth adding chipotle to!
Pumpkin Pie Pork
Whatcha Need
3 pound pork roast
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup maple syrup (you can use up to 2/3 cup if you don't mind the carbs and would like it really sweet)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 ts salt
1 ts pumpkin pie spice (see above)
1 ts Worcesteshire sauce
1/2 ts chipotle pepper (optional)
Whatcha Do
This is as easy peasy as they come. Put the roast in the crockpot, mix up the rest of the ingredients and pour them over the top. Cook it on low or high depending on how much time you have. I usually start checking a roast about 5 hours in on low, then I cut it up to make sure the flavors are penetrating the whole roast. When it gets more toward falling apart done, I cube it or shred it, depending on how I want to use it, and pop it back into the juices again for at least 15 minutes on the keep warm setting. Watch out, this one is addicting!
