Step 1
Start by browning the ground pork in a skillet over medium heat until it’s fully cooked through, then drain off any excess fat. Next, toss the cooked pork into your slow cooker along with the tomatoes, bell pepper, pineapple, beans, corn, tomato paste, onion, baby corn, cider, garlic, brown sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, molasses, ancho chile pepper, sage, curry powder, cinnamon, honey, and vinegar. Give everything a good stir to combine all those flavors. Set your slow cooker to High and let it cook for at least 4 hours, until everything is nice and tender and the flavors have melded together. When it’s ready, give it a final stir and enjoy!
