Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs pre-cooked pulled pork
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 ripe peaches, peeled and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 12 slider buns
  • 1/2 cup coleslaw mix (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, bourbon, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir together and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and the liquid has reduced slightly.
  2. Puree the Glaze: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the mixture until smooth. If using a regular blender, let the mixture cool for 5 minutes first, then blend in batches. Set aside.
  3. Reheat the Pulled Pork: While the glaze is simmering, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pre-cooked pulled pork, breaking it up with a spatula. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is heated through and starting to get crispy edges.
  4. Combine Pork and Glaze: Pour the peach glaze over the hot pulled pork in the skillet. Stir well to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer together for 3-4 minutes. The glaze will thicken and cling to the pork. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Toast the Buns: While the pork is simmering, slice the slider buns in half if needed. Place them cut-side down on a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the Sliders: Place the bottom halves of the toasted buns on a serving platter. Spoon a generous amount of the bourbon peach pulled pork onto each bun. If using coleslaw, add a small handful on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Cap with the top buns and serve immediately.
  7. Pro Tip for Serving: These sliders are best eaten right away. If making for a party, keep them warm in a low oven (200°F) for up to 30 minutes, covered loosely with foil.

Notes

Don’t rush the glaze; keep it at a gentle simmer to avoid burning. Use day-old pulled pork for firmer texture. Toast the buns to prevent sogginess. The glaze can be made ahead and stored separately. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute bourbon with apple juice or apple cider. Leftover pulled pork (without buns) can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
