Step-by-step Guide
- Wash the pork shoulder, pat dry, and then wrinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
- Combine all the spices. Toss the pork shoulder and so that the spice mixture sticks evenly to the surface of the pork.
- Add some oil on the crock pot, then sear the pork shoulder on all sides. If your crock pot does not have the searing function, use a pan.
- Mix all the ingredients for sauce and pour into the crock pot. Cover and cook on High for 6 hours.
- If the pork becomes very tender and can be shredded easily, it’s done. Transfer it to a plate and pull the meat with two forks. Stir the meat into the remaining sauce.
Cooking Tips
- If the remaining sauce is too much, you can heat it to about 2 cups.
- For the leftover pulled pork, you can store the pork and sauce separately in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. Heat the desired amount with some sauce when you want to eat.
