Pork

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and liquid smoke. Ensure the pork is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Place the coated pork shoulder in a large resealable bag or container. Pour apple cider vinegar and water over the pork. Seal and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Remove the pork from the marinade and place it in a slow cooker. Pour any remaining marinade over the top of the pork. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the pork using two forks and discard any excess fat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pulled pork in portions of 4oz., 1/2lb., or 1lb. as desired.
