A perfect Carolina pulled pork recipe. Just find yourself a slow cooker, a big pork shoulder, some cider vinegar, and get cooking!

Ingredients

  • 1 (5 pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons hot pepper sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1
Place pork shoulder into a slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Pour vinegar around the pork. Cover, and cook on Low for 12 hours. Pork should easily pull apart into strands.

Step 2
Remove pork from the slow cooker and discard any bones. Strain off the liquid, reserving 2 cups (discard any extra). Shred pork using tongs or two forks, and return to the slow cooker.

Step 3
Stir brown sugar, hot pepper sauce, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes into the reserved liquid. Mix into pork in the slow cooker.

Step 4
Cover and keep on Low setting until serving.
