Main Ingredients
  • lb boneless pork shoulder blade roast lean, all fat removed
  • cloves garlic crushed
  • tbsp Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning
  • tsp coarse salt
  • lime squeezed
  • cup fresh orange juice

Method
 

Pork Preparation and Cooking
  1. Using a sharp knife, cut slits into the pork and stuff holes with half of the crushed garlic.
  2. Combine the remaining garlic, jerk seasoning, and salt, rub all over pork (you may want to wear gloves).
  3. Place in a large container, pour the lime and orange juice over the pork; cover and refrigerate 5 hours or overnight, turning pork occasionally so the marinade covers all of pork.
  4. The next morning, put everything in the crock pot and cook on LOW for 9 hours.
  5. After 9 hours, remove pork and shred using two forks.
  6. Remove liquid from crock pot and reserve.
  7. Add shredded pork back to the slow cooker.
  8. Add about 1 cup of the liquid back into the crock pot and taste for salt and pepper.
  9. Let it cook an additional 15 minutes.
Caribbean Salsa
  1. Meanwhile, make the Caribbean salsa: combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate salsa until ready to serve.

Notes

While the title is 'slow cooker pork jerky', this recipe outlines the preparation of succulent, shredded jerk pork, which is typically moist and served hot, not dried jerky. It's fantastic served with the fresh Caribbean salsa, rice, or in tacos.
