• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 8 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tsp paprika powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cumin powder

3/4 tsp mustard powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 ½ - 2.2 kg/ 3 - 4.5 lb pork shoulder or butt (, skinless and boneless, Note 1)

3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice (Note 2)

1 quantity Coleslaw

6 - 8 bread rolls

1 cup pork juices from slow cooker, once cooked

2 1/2 cups ketchup

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp each black pepper, onion (or garlic powder), mustard powder

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Mix together Rub then rub all over the pork. Optional: Marinate for 1 hour.

Place in the slow cooker and pour over apple cider. Slow cook for 8 hours on low or pressure cook for 1 hr 30 minutes on high. (Note 3)

Remove pork from liquid into a roasting pan. Reserve liquid.

OPTIONAL: Roast pork for 20 - 30 minutes at 180C/350F until browned (Note 4). Meanwhile, make BBQ Sauce.

Shred pork with forks - it should be fall apart tender (see video).

Toss in BBQ sauce - use as much as you like, the recipe makes enough to coat the pork well but not dripping in sauce, plus a bit extra on the side.

To make Pulled Pork Sandwiches, pile pork on warmed rolls and top with Coleslaw. I like to lay everything out for people to make their own.

BBQ Sauce

Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat and whisk. Bring to simmer, then turn down the heat so it simmers gently. Cook for 1 hour. Remove from stove and use per recipe.
