Spiced Apple Cider Pulled Pork Recipe
i'm sure people have come up with this before, but i threw this together with what i had around and no plan and it turned out SO GOOD
Recipe
Ingredients
- 2-3 lb pork shoulder
- 1 bottle of hard apple cider (you can use non-alchoholic but I'd cut down on the brown sugar)
- 1/8 cup brown sugar
- 2ish tbsp of knorr caldo de pollo boullion powder
- splash of liquid smoke
- lotta cinnamon
- pinch or two of ground cloves
- cayene to taste
- a good squirt of stone ground mustard
- fuckton of black pepper
- nutmeg would prolly be good but i’m allergic
Directions
put all the stuff into slow cooker, cook on low for like 6-7 hours or until easily shredded. (you can sear the pork shoulder under the broiler or in a pan before slow cooking if you want, but i was too lazy and it turned out great anyway)
separate pork from cooking liquid and shred with forks
de-fat cooking liquid and reduce in a saucepan until thick and syrupy
pour the reduced liquid into the shredded pork and mix
serve with mac n cheese or jalapeno cheddar corn bread or collared greens or someth. good shit.
