Ingredients

• 5 Pounds (lb) bone-in pork shoulder roast
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1.5 Cups apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) brown sugar

• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) red pepper flakes, crushed

Steps

1. Place the pork shoulder into a slow cooker and season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Pour the apple cider vinegar around the pork. Cover and cook on Low for 12 hours, or until the pork easily pulls apart into strands.
2. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and discard any bones. Strain off the liquid, reserving 2 cups, and discard any extra. Shred the pork using tongs or two forks, and return it to the slow cooker.
3. Stir the brown sugar, hot pepper sauce, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes into the reserved liquid. Mix this sauce into the shredded pork in the slow cooker.
4. Cover and keep on the Low setting until ready to serve. Enjoy the pulled pork on a bun with your favorite coleslaw for a classic Carolina BBQ sandwich.
