Savory Slow-Cooked Pulled Pork Delight

Ingredients

• A pork shoulder weighing around 3 pounds
• Approximately 4 cups of water, adjust as required
• About 8 cups of white vinegar, adjust to taste
• 1/4 cup of kosher salt for seasoning
• A large onion, sliced into 8 wedges
• 1 tablespoon each of ground cumin, ground mustard, and chili powder
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar for sweetness

Step 1

Prepare a delicious pork shoulder dish by placing it gently in the ceramic bowl of a slow cooker. To ensure the pork is perfectly infused with flavor, cover it completely with a blend of water and white vinegar, maintaining a harmonious 2-to-1 ratio. Sprinkle a touch of salt for enhanced taste. Allow the pork to marinate and soak up the delicious flavors for a minimum of 12 hours, or ideally up to 24 hours for a more intense taste experience.

Step 2

Before cooking, drain a portion of the liquid until about half an inch of the pork is revealed, creating an opportunity to add the onion to the remaining marinade. Season the exposed pork surface with a delightful mix of cumin, mustard, chili powder, and brown sugar, enhancing its flavors and aroma. Place the bowl back into the slow cooker base and set it on High heat, patiently waiting for the pork to tenderize and effortlessly fall apart, a process typically taking 8 to 10 hours.

Step 3

Once the pork is perfectly cooked, carefully transfer it to a cutting board for the final touch. With the help of two forks, shred the tender meat into mouthwatering strands, ensuring a delightful texture. Trim off any excess fat for a leaner and more enjoyable dining experience.
