Hawaiian Pulled Pork (Sugar Free)

I was in search of a pulled pork recipe that could fit my restricted diet. The original recipe was found here. I of course had to do some tweaking to make it sugar free and all whole foods, no processed ingredients. We all enjoyed this one, and it was so easy to make.

2.5 lbs pork butt, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup sugar free ketchup
1/6 cup cider vinegar
1/6 cup water
15 drops liquid stevia
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tbsp sweet paprika
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 15oz can Pineapple, including juice
3 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper

Cut the pork butt into 2 inch pieces. Transfer to a slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients on top of the pork butt and cover with the lid. This can be done the night before like I did or the morning you want to cook it. Set on low heat and cook for 8 hours until the pork is falling apart. Using 2 forks, shred the pork while still in the slow cooker and then let it soak up the remaining juice. Serve the Hawaiian Pulled Pork on a bun for a sandwich or on leafy greens if you can't have gluten and yeast like me.

Pineapple Crisp

1 1/2 cups flaked coconut (I used 1 cup coconut and 1/2 cup rolled oats)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar (I used 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/8 teaspoon salt
FILLING:
3/4 cup sugar (I used 1/2 cup)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained ( I used fresh chopped pineapple combined with bottled juice to make 10 oz.)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (I omitted this and it was fine)
1 tablespoon butter or margarine


In a bowl, combine the coconut, flour, brown sugar, butter and salt. Press 1-1/2 cups into a greased 9-in. square baking pan; set remaining mixture aside.
In a saucepan, combine the filling ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Cool; spread over crust. Sprinkle with reserved coconut mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
If you double the recipe it fits a 9x13 pan nicely. We served this with whipped cream and it was very yummy.
