Ingredients:
- 1 Tbs. vegetable oil
- 3 1/2 to 4 lb. (1.75 to 2 kg) boneless pork shoulder,
cut into 1 1/2-inch (4-cm) pieces - Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 large yellow onion, halved and cut into
1/2-inch (12-mm) slices - 1 lb. carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch (5-cm) chunks
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 jar spiced pumpkin braising sauce
- 1 bunch curly kale, stemmed and leaves torn into
1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces - Crusty bread for serving
Directions:
In the stovetop-safe insert of a 4-quart (4-l) slow cooker over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear the pork until well browned, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a bowl.
Add the onion to the insert and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Return the pork to the insert and add the carrots, red pepper flakes and braising sauce. Cover and cook on high until the pork is tender, about 4 hours, stirring in the kale during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Serve with crusty bread. Serves 6 to 8.

perfect amount of spices
Really easy to make. Served with rice but really wasn't necessary. The dish is filling alone. The smell while cooking is heaven. Ordering more sauce when the next sale starts.

Adapt this if you don't have an All-Clad Crock Pot
I saw this recipe and didn't notice it was advertising an all clad crock pot. I used my ceramic liner on the stove and it cracked. It's in the oven now (as my crock pot is broken) and smells delicious!

Comfort food
This is just an amazingly good combination of flavors. I prepared just as directed and it was very simple to make. Served it over Parmesan grits and the combination was so good we just wanted to lick our bowls clean! This will definitely become a fall staple in our house.

Perfect Cold Weather Dish
This simple dish is full of flavor. Simple to make, and delish! I followed the recipe and would not change a thing. The Pumpkin Spice Braising sauce is a hit! My next recipe will be the chicken recipe on the side of the Pumpkin Spice jar. Try it - you will not regret it.

Couldn't be easier or more delicious
I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect! I served it over buttered egg noodles and it was a huge hit with the entire family. I'll be stocking up on this sauce!!
