Crockpot Orange-Juice Pulled Pork turns a pork butt roast into succulent, pull-apart meat infused with gentle citrus, sweet onion, and garlicky depth. The touch of stone-ground mustard adds a subtle tang that balances the richness, making it perfect for casual dinners, game-day sliders, or meal-prep tacos. Expect juicy, aromatic pork with a clean, bright finish.

1

Place the pork butt in a slow cooker with the fattier side facing up. Pour the water and orange juice into the slow cooker. Season the pork and the liquid with salt and pepper.
2

Mix the garlic and mustard in a small bowl; spread the mixture over the top of the pork butt. Sprinkle the onion over the pork.
3

Cook on Low, turning the butt a few times, until the meat pulls apart easily with a fork, 6 to 8 hours.
4

Remove the pork from the slow cooker; let it sit until cool enough to handle. Trim and discard any visible chunks of fat. Shred the remaining pork into strands. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker; stir. Use a slotted spoon to remove portions of pork from the slow cooker to serve.
