Kalua Pig in a Crock Pot

kalua pig
Aloha and let’s get this pig in the ground.  Try this pulled pork recipe for the flavor of Hawaii, it’s the next best thing to being on the island.
Ingredients:
  • pork butt (shoulder)  I don’t know why they call it a butt when it’s really a shoulder, weird
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cups liquid smoke
  • 2-3 tbsp Hawaiian  sea salt (regular sea salt will work)
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ginger
Directions:
Rub your butt down with the Hawaiian sea salt , ginger and onion powder.  That just sounds funny, doesn’t it?  Place the butt in the crock pot.  That sounds funny too!  Add the juice, liquid smoke and cook for about 2 hours on high then reduce to low and cook for 6-10 more hour depending on how big your butt is.  LOL!  Mine is pretty big so it may take awhile.  Hehe, I don’t why that is SO funny (I’m just not right).
I can hear the ocean and Hawaiian music from here.  My feet are in the sand and I have Mai Tai in my hand.
Aloha A hui hou kakou (means goodbye until we meet again).
Kipa hou mai (means y’all come back)  I love that…
