Title: Sweet Pulled Pork
Ingredients:
– 3-4 pounds pork shoulder or pork butt
– 1 cup barbecue sauce
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the pork. Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder or pork butt, then season it generously with salt and pepper. Place the seasoned pork in your slow cooker.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Pour the sauce mixture over the pork in the slow cooker, making sure to coat the meat evenly.
4. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 5-6 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreddable.
5. Once the pork is cooked through and tender, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
6. Return the shredded pork back to the slow cooker, stirring it into the flavorful sauce. Allow the pork to soak up the juices for an additional 30 minutes on low heat.
7. After the pork has absorbed the delicious sauce, it’s ready to serve. Pile the sweet pulled pork onto soft buns or serve it over fluffy rice for a hearty meal that will leave everyone wanting seconds.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of extra brown sugar for an added touch of flavor and visual appeal.
