  • Peel mangos and remove the pits. Place the pits into a slow cooker, then roughly chop the mango and set aside. Place pork shoulder into the slow cooker and season with pepper, salt, and 1 teaspoon chipotle powder. Pour in balsamic vinegar and water.
  • Cover and cook on Low until the meat is very tender, 5 to 8 hours. Once done, drain the pork, discarding the cooking liquid and mango pits, and shred with two forks.
  • While pork is cooking, purée chopped mango in a blender until smooth, then pour into a saucepan along with honey, remaining chipotle powder, and whiskey. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until mango has reduced and darkened slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in barbecue sauce and remove from the heat.
  • Return shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in mango barbecue sauce. Cover and cook on High until pork absorbs the barbecue sauce, 1 to 2 hours.
