Ingredients
  • 1 (5 to 7 pound) pork roast
  • 2 (8 oz) bottles POM Wonderful pomegranate juice
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ sugar
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons chipotle peppers, chopped very fine

Instructions
  1. Brown roast on all sides in a large pan.
  2. In the mean time, combine pomegranate juice, lemon juice and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil then quickly reduce to the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces to a syrup consistency that coats your spoon, about a half hour or so.

  6. Place meat on buns and top with slaw.
