Hawaiian pulled pork is sweet and savory while staying moist and flavorful...it's an epic combination that's perfect for summer! Pile the pulled pork on a sweet Hawaiian bun and top with a pineapple ring for delicious summer BBQ flavor without all the work!
We used Hawaiian BBQ sauce in this recipe, but ANY barbeque sauce can be used with pineapple juice to capture the unique flavor of Hawaiian pulled pork.
