Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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