Cook the Pork
Preheat your slow cooker or oven to 225°F (107°C). If using an oven, place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan. Pour the apple cider vinegar and pork broth around the pork, then cover with foil. If using a slow cooker, place the pork in the pot and add the liquids. Cover and cook for 8-10 hours until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
