Smoked Hawaiian Punch and Pineapple Pulled Pork
Pulled pork has long been a staple of backyard gatherings and family cookouts, but this recipe takes it in a direction you may not expect. Instead of a standard brine or injection, the pork shoulder is soaked overnight in a blend of pineapple juice and Hawaiian Punch Fruit Juicy Red. The natural acidity of the pineapple helps tenderize the meat while the punch adds a vibrant sweetness that balances beautifully with smoke.
Once it hits the smoker, the pork develops that familiar bark and deep, smoky aroma while absorbing spritzes of fruit juice that keep it moist and flavorful. Later, the tray introduces pineapple chunks that steam beneath the pork, adding both texture and tropical brightness to the final pull. The seasoning comes from Revolution Barbecue Kansas City BBQ Rub, a blend that ties the fruity sweetness to the mesquite smoke with a savory backbone of spice. The result is pulled pork that is tender, juicy, and layered with bold flavors that are anything but ordinary.
