Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded pork or ham
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 4 sandwich buns
  • Optional: Coleslaw for topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring until it simmers and the sugar dissolves.

  5. Toast your sandwich buns lightly.
  6. Pile the warm Cranberry BBQ Pulled Pork onto the buns.
  7. Top with coleslaw, if using, and serve immediately.
