Ingredients

1 (5 pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast

1 tablespoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 ½ tablespoons hot pepper sauce

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Directions

Place pork shoulder into a slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Pour vinegar around the pork. Cover, and cook on Low for 12 hours. Pork should easily pull apart into strands.
