Method
Pulled Pork Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Rub
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a spice rub.
- 2
Season the Pork
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Cook the Pork
Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour in apple cider vinegar and water. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Shred the Pork
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Mix with the cooking juices for added flavor.
