Instructions

To make the pulled pork:

  1. Place pork in 6 quart slow cooker set to low.
  2. Add sugar and spices to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine. Coat the pork in half of the spice mixture. Cover and set aside remaining spice mix.
  3. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. Alternately, bake in the oven, covered, at 250 degrees for 10 hours or until meat is easily pulled apart with a fork.
  4. Use two forks to pull the pork apart. Sprinkle remaining spice mixture over the pork, tasting as you go. You may not need the full amount, so be sure to taste the pork as you season it until it's seasoned to your preference.

To make the sandwiches:

  1. Pile the pork on sandwich buns, top with barbecue sauce, pickles, and pickle slaw.

Notes

  • Pork: You should end up with plenty of pork for around 8 sandwiches, depending on how much pork you pile on. 
  • Pork: You should end up with plenty of pork for around 8 sandwiches, depending on how much pork you pile on. 
  • Liquid: There is no need to add any liquid to the slow cooker. The pork will release plenty as it cooks. You can drain off some of the excess liquid/fat before shredding if you prefer or you can leave it with the pork for extra juicy goodness.
  • Rub: Be sure not to touch the raw meat with your hands and then dip into the rub or you'll contaminate it. We pour about half of it into a separate bowl while working with the raw pork to be sure there is no cross contamination. Discard any rub that came in contact with raw pork. The rest of the rub can be stored in a cool, dry space for quite a long time. 
  • Leftovers: To store the leftover pork, keep covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in small bags for up to 3 months.
