Introduction
An incredibly tender, melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked pulled pork recipe topped with a tangy homemade Carolina-style barbecue sauce and crisp coleslaw, all served on a toasted sesame seed bun.
Step 1
Prepare the dry rub by combining 3 tablespoons of dark brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of black pepper, 3 tablespoons of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt in a small bowl, whisking well to combine.
Step 2
Prepare the mop liquid (braising liquid) by whisking together 1 cup of apple cider, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of black pepper in a medium bowl.
Step 3
Generously apply and rub the dry seasoning mixture over all sides of the pork shoulder.
Step 4
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the slow cooker crock pot.
Step 5
Pour the prepared mop liquid right over the top of the seasoned pork.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Cooking the pork slowly on low for 12 hours ensures it is extremely tender and shreds effortlessly.
Keep the fat cap on the pork shoulder during cooking as it melts down and imparts rich flavor and juiciness to the meat.
Don't throw away the leftover cooking liquid; strain and refrigerate it to easily skim the fat off the next day, leaving a deeply flavorful pork broth for other recipes like rice or tacos.
