The 4-Ingredient Sugar-Free Pineapple Pork Roast

 

The 4-Ingredient Sugar-Free Pineapple Pork Roast
Ingredients

3-4 lb Pork Shoulder (or Boston Butt): This cut is essential for that pull-apart tenderness and provides a fantastic high-protein base.

1 can (20 oz) Pineapple Chunks: Ensure it is packed in 100% juice, not heavy syrup, to keep added sugars down.

1/2 cup Soy Sauce: You can also use coconut aminos if you prefer a cleaner, soy-free option.

1/2 cup Sugar-Free Brown Sugar Substitute: Use a monk fruit or erythritol blend (like Swerve) to achieve that signature sweet glaze without the carbs.

Instructions
Prep the Meat: Trim any excessive, thick fat caps from the outside of the pork shoulder, leaving just a thin layer for flavor and moisture.

Combine Ingredients: Place the pork shoulder directly into the slow cooker. Pour the entire can of pineapple chunks (including the juice), the soy sauce, and the brown sugar substitute over the meat.

Slow Cook: Cover and set your slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4 to 5 hours). Low and slow is the butcher’s secret to getting meat that truly melts in your mouth.

Shred and Serve: Once the time is up, the meat will fall apart effortlessly. Use two forks to shred the pork directly in the pot, tossing it in the sweet and savory juices before serving.
