• porcijos: 6 to 8 Servings
• bendras laikas: 8 hours

Ingredientai

1 1/2 cup sweet apple cider

1 1/2 cup hard apple cider

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon garlic powder

3 tablespoon hot sauce

4 onions, peeled and sliced

4 pound pork shoulder, preferably organic and trimmed of fat (I find it easier to remove the layer of fat once it's cooked before you shred it, but you can remove it before you add it to the crock pot, if you like)

Nurodymai

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together both ciders, ketchup, brown sugar, cumin, paprika, garlic power and hot sauce.

Step 2

Place half of the onions in the bottom of a 4 1/2- to 6-quart Crock-Pot/slow cooker.

Step 3

Put the pork shoulder on top of the onions and pour the sauce over the pork. Top with the rest of the onions.

Step 4

Cover slow cooker with lid and cook pork mixture on high for 4 hours (or on low for 8 hours), or until pork is very tender.

Step 5

With tongs, transfer pork to large bowl. Turn crockpot to high, cover, and heat sauce to boiling to thicken and reduce slightly (alternatively, this can be done in a pan on the stove).

Step 6

While sauce boils, use 2 forks to pull pork into shreds. Return shredded pork to crockpot with the sauce and allow to cook for an additional 30 minutes on the high setting.

Step 7

Serve pulled pork with or without sandwich buns; delicious with cole slaw and/or cranberry chutney!
