Pulled Pork in a Slow Cooker

Put your roast in the oiled slow cooker and start sprinkling your spices on top of the roast.

½ Tablespoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon nutmeg

½ teaspoon turmeric

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

½ Tablespoon ground cumin

½ Tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika

1 Tablespoon onion powder

1 Tablespoon garlic powder

1 Tablespoon chili powder

Pour 2 cups of chicken broth around the roast.  I pour the broth around the edge of the slow cooker.  I like leaving as many spices on the top of the roast as possible.  I want the meat to have the flavor not the broth.  My favorite chicken broth is Pacific Foods brand.

Put the lid on the slow cooker.  Set it on high and forget it.

In our slow cooker it took about 4 hours for the pork to be falling off the bone.

Step 10: Let it cool for awhile.  This is always the bad time in our house, because everyone wants to pick at it.  Pull off as much of the pork as you can and put it in a separate bowl.

Step 14: Pour barbecue sauce over the pork.  I poured a little more than a bottle onto the pork.  You can also make your own barbecue sauce.  I make my barbecue sauce and freeze it.  We ate too much of it this winter and we ran out.  So for those of us who are too busy right now Bull’s-Eye Sweet & Tangy is the best for the pork.  It is not too sweet like you want on chicken and it is not too smoky which you would use on beef.  It has apple cider vinegar which gives it a sweet and tangy flavor you want with pork.
