Step 1

Start by placing the pork in your slow cooker. Sprinkle in the molasses, chili powder, salt, paprika, cumin seeds, and ground coriander, making sure the spices are evenly distributed. Pour in enough water to just cover the pork. Set the slow cooker to High and let it cook for about 6 to 8 hours until the pork is tender.

Stir in your favorite barbecue sauce, then lower the heat to Low and let everything cook together for another hour so the flavors really meld. When it’s ready, give it a good mix and serve!
