Crockpot Pulled Pork

5 pounds Boston butt

4 tablespoons dark brown sugar

3 tablespoons paprika

1 1/2 tablespoons salt

1 1/2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper

1 tablespoon onion powder

1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)

2 cups apple cider vinegar

1 cup water

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 1/2 tablespoons liquid smoke (optional)

If needed, trim or halve the Boston butt so it will fit in your

crockpot. Place on a plate. In a small bowl mix together the brown

sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and

cayenne. Rub the mixture into the pork and coat thoroughly. Cover

tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours. Mix

together the remaining ingredients in the crockpot when you are ready

to cook. Add the pork and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove the pork

from the liquid and immediately pull apart into shreds with two forks.

Place the shredded pork in a large ovenproof dish. Toss the shredded

pork with enough of the cooking liquid to keep it moist – plus some

extra as it will absorb some of the liquid while sitting and

reheating. Refrigerate overnight or up to 36 hours. Bake the pork at

350 degrees for 30-40 minutes to reheat. Serve with barbecue sauce,

buns, and cole slaw.
