• 2 tbsp Hogtown Jerk seasoning

• 1 cup water or chicken stock

Instructions

3. Cut the 2 lbs of pork shoulder into 2 or 3 large pieces. Coat the pork in the Jerk seasoning and add it on top of the vegetable base. Add the water or stock to the slow cooker. Once the lid is on, leave it to cook for 4 hrs on high heat.

4. At the 4-hour mark, once the pork is fork-tender, taste the Jerk Pork and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can slice the pork and return it to the slow cooker or pan to keep warm until you are ready to eat.
