Carolina Pulled Pork

(If you like Chick-fil-A sauce then you will like this recipe)

Use a pork shoulder roast or pork butt roast

prepare the cooker;

slice onion and put in bottom of cooker

pour in half can of Rootbeer or more depending on the size of your cooker, add apple cider vinegar so that there is about 1 inch of liquid (you can also use broth if you like for the liquid)

then rub meat with a mixture of

Cumin, garlic salt, salt and pepper (add chili powder if you like spice)

there is not measured amounts here, just balance it out depending on the amount you like of different tastes, I always use more cumin that any other spice but usually close to equal parts, mix enough to cover roast on all sides

put rubbed roast in crock pot or covered roaster pan in oven (250 degrees)

slow cooker about 6 to 8 hours, or 4 hours in an oven for 250 degrees

shred the roast with forks (pull apart) (make sure meat is falling apart before you shred otherwise it will be tough and chewy

sauce

I use about

1 1/2 cups of mustard (or a whole large container of mustard from Wal-mart)

1/4 cup or less of dark brown sugar

1/2 to 1 cup of apple cider vinegar

bring to boil and taste, add honey to cool it down or vinegar to spice it up, if you put sugar in it it tastes funny so keep with a small of brown sugar, honey makes it better

then add to meat and add 1/2 stick of butter, stir and keep warm for about an hour then serve, the longer it stays ready for serving, you can keep adding the vinegar and honey (equal parts) to keep it moist along with small amounts of butter

the two secret ingredients in this are the butter and Rootbeer- most recipes you find don't have either and it does make a difference
