Apple Jack Recipes

Steps:

• Pour whiskey into a wide shot glass. Top with apple juice.

Steps:

• Cut pork shoulder into 2-inch chunks. Transfer to a stew pot. Add onion, garlic, kosher salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Pour in bourbon whiskey, apple cider vinegar, and apple juice. Stir to combine.
• Place over high heat and bring to a simmer; stir and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer until meat is fork-tender, about 2 hours.
• Use a spider strainer to transfer meat mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• Turn heat back to medium-high and reduce cooking liquid to about 75%, skimming the fat off of the top if desired.
• Reduce heat to low, stir in reserved pork, and use a potato masher to break pork into smaller pieces. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, to heat through and make sure pork absorbs sauce, 2 to 4 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• For best results, refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Meanwhile, combine cabbage, peppers, green onions, mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne for slaw in a large bowl. Mix very well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 12 hours.
• Reheat pork the next day over medium heat, stirring often. Stir in chopped chives.
• Mix mustard slaw well and drain off any excess moisture. Serve pork with mustard slaw on sesame seed buns.
