Ingredients
- 4 lbs. pork shoulder
- 2 T paprika (try smoked paprika for more of that smoked flavor)
- 2 T brown sugar
- 1 teas. pepper
- 1 teas. cayenne pepper
- 1 teas. garlic powder
- 1 teas. onion powder
- 1 teas. kosher salt
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup water
Directions
- Mix together all of the dried spices and rub into all sides of the pork
- Place vinegar and water in bottom of slow cooker
- Carefully add pork (so you don’t wash off spices)
- Cover and cook on low for about 8hrs
- Remove pork and shred (remove any large fatty pieces and discard)
- Add juices from slow cooker as desired
Notes
- Save a bit of seasoning and toss it with cooked pulled pork to add extra kick (but just a tad, you don’t want to ruin the delicious flavors of the meat!)
- If you want brown crispy ends you can put shredded meat on a foil lined baking sheet and broil for a couple of minutes in the oven
