Ingredients

  • Pork
  • 4-5 lb Bone-In Pork Shoulder Roast
  • 1 large Onion
  • 2 Tb Salt
  • 2 Tb Pepper
  • 2 Tb Olive Oil
  • Cooking Liquid
  • 2 cups Fresh Pressed Apple Juice*
  • 1/4 cup Raw Apple Cider Vinegar I use Bragg
  • 1 Tb Sea Salt
  • 1 Tb Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Organic Ketchup
  • 1/2 Tb Unsulphured Molasses
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 5 Garlic Cloves chopped
  • 2 Tb Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
  • 2 Tb Honey
  • Bbq Sauce
  • 2 cups Strained Cooking Liquid
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Organic Ketchup

Instructions

  • Cover and cook on high heat for 6-7 hours or on low heat for 8-9 hours.
  • Once the pork is done and falling off the bone, remove from the slow cooker.
  • Transfer pork to a cutting board and pull apart.
  • Bbq Sauce
  • Before making the sauce I use a couple of slices of old bread to soak up some of the pork fat off of the top of the cooking liquid then discard fatty bread slices. (optional)
  • Transfer 2 cups of strained cooking liquid to a small saucepan and add the brown sugar and ketchup. (add a bit more brown sugar for a sweet sauce)
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Cook for approximately 10 minutes or until thickened, stir regularly.
  • This will be enough sauce for half of the pulled pork. If you will be eating all of the pork as bbq, double this sauce recipe.
  • Toss half of the pulled pork with the sauce and eat as is or on a sandwich roll/bun.

Notes

*Fresh Pressed or Not From Concentrate Apple Juice can be found in the refrigerated juice grocery section. I use Trader Joe's brand or Simply Apple brand.
