Saucy, sweet and spicy, this delicious dinner is great on the first day over rice, then leftovers are equally tasty on buns, in quesadillas or on top of a warming bowl of soup.

    Rub pork shoulder with oil, then rub in salt. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in hot skillet 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer to 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Pour sauce over pork. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or until very tender.

    Transfer pork to cutting board; let stand until cool enough to handle. Strain sauce through fine strainer; discard any solids. Wipe out slow cooker; pour strained sauce back into cooker. Shred pork; return to slow cooker, and coat with sauce. Serve over rice.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    No need to peel the gingerroot and apples! They will contribute plenty of flavor before being strained out of the sauce.
  • tip 2
    You can measure, cut and mix all your sauce ingredients the night before, and refrigerate to make the morning prep time even quicker.
