📖 Instructions

1. First, let's tackle that incredible peach BBQ sauce. Peel and pit 2 ripe Georgia peaches (about 1 pound). Roughly chop 'em up and toss 'em into a blender or food processor.
2. Add 1/2 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar (gotta have that tang!), 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (light or dark, your choice!), 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce (for that umami depth), 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika (can't skip the smokiness!), 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (if you like a little kick, like me!), and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth.
3. Now for the pulled pork! Grab a 3-4 pound boneless pork shoulder (also known as a Boston butt). Trim off any excess fat. Season it generously with salt, pepper, and a little extra smoked paprika. Trust me, this'll make a difference
4. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, sear the pork shoulder on all sides over medium-high heat until nicely browned. This step is important for developing flavor, so don't skip it!
5. Transfer the seared pork shoulder to a slow cooker. Pour the peach BBQ sauce over the pork, making sure it's fully coated. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork is fall-apart tender. You'll know it's ready when you can easily shred it with two forks. Or a bear claw meat shredder.
6. While the pork is cooking, let's whip up that refreshing peach salsa. Dice 2 more ripe Georgia peaches (or whatever peaches ya got, lets be honest), 1/2 red onion, 1 jalapeno (remove the seeds if you're spice-averse), and 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro. Toss everything together in a bowl.
7. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the salsa and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good stir and set aside. This can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
8. Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Discard any excess fat. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and toss it with the peach BBQ sauce to coat. Mmmm, this is gonna be the best slider ever.
9. Now for the grand finale – assembling the sliders! Lightly toast some slider buns (Hawaiian rolls are amazing for this). Spoon a generous amount of peach BBQ pulled pork onto each bun.
10. Top with a spoonful of that vibrant peach salsa. Serve immediately and watch those sliders disappear! These are great with some baked beans or coleslaw.
