Ingredients

3 pounds pork loin roast

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

2 Tablespoons bacon fat (or vegetable oil)

1 medium onion, sliced thin

2 teaspoons minced garlic

Pat pork loin dry with paper towels and season all sides with salt and pepper. 

Add bacon fat (or vegetable oil) to a braiser or Dutch Oven and place over medium heat. 

Place seasoned pork loin in pan. Scatter onions and garlic around the edges.  Cook about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. 

In a bowl combine apple juice and apple butter together.

If you desire shredded pork, continue to cook an additional hour or until meat starts to fall apart.
