Carolina BBQ Pulled Pork
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder roast
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
Instructions
1
Begin by activating your slow cooker to its lowest heat setting for 15 minutes, allowing it to reach the optimal temperature.
2
Next, take your pork shoulder and sprinkle both sides with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper; then, carefully place it into the preheated slow cooker.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar until well combined; pour the mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
4
After 8 hours of cooking on low, remove the pork from the slow cooker and transfer it to a large serving platter; slice it into 3-4 manageable pieces.
5
Using two forks, gently shred the pork into tender, bite-sized strands; then, return the shredded pork to the slow cooker.
6
Continue cooking the pork for an additional 1 hour, allowing it to absorb any remaining flavors and become even more tender.
