Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker
  • 1 Small Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 4-5 lb Pork Shoulder or Pork Butt
  • 1 large Onion sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Barbecue Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider
  • 1/4 cup Orange Juice
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper optional
  • Buns, Cole Slaw for serving

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the Pork Shoulder under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if desired.
  • In a small bowl, mix the Brown Sugar, Paprika, Chili Powder, Cumin, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Salt, Black Pepper, and Cayenne Pepper (if using).
  • Rub the spice mixture all over the Pork Shoulder, ensuring it is well coated.
  • Place the sliced Onions and minced Garlic in the bottom of the Slow Cooker.
  • Place the seasoned Pork Shoulder on top of the Onions and Garlic.
  • Pour the Barbecue Sauce, Chicken Broth, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Orange Juice over the Pork.
  • Cover the Slow Cooker with the lid. Cook on low for 8-10 hours (or on high for 4-6 hours) until the Pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  • Once the Pork is done, remove it from the Slow Cooker and place it on a large plate or cutting board. Use two forks to shred the Pork into bite-sized pieces.
  • Return the shredded Pork to the Slow Cooker and mix it with the Juices and Onions.
  • Serve the Pulled Pork on buns, piled with your favorite slaw. Pour a glass of 2018 Stardust Cabernet Sauvignon, and enjoy!
