Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 T. onion powder
  • 1 T. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. ginger grated fresh
  • 1.5 tsp. cloves ground
  • 1.5 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1.5 tsp. thyme
  • 1.5 tsp. mustard powder dry
  • 1.5 tsp. salt coarse
  • 1 tsp. sweet paprika or hot paprika
  • ½ tsp. cumin
  • ½ tsp. sugar
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1 3- pound pork butt boneless
  • 1 c. apple cider or apple juice
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Hamburger Bun sliced open
  • barbecue sauce your favorite
  • cilantro optional, chopped, fresh

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl combine onion powder, garlic powder, cloves, ginger, allspice, thyme, dry mustard, salt, paprika, cumin, sugar, black pepper, and cayenne. Use fingers to rub spices together to ensure that ginger is dispersed throughout. Rub spice mixture all over pork.
  2. Place pork in the slow cooker, fat side up. Pour apple cider over pork and add bay leaf. Cook on low for 8 hours. Remove pork from slow cooker. Use two forks to shred meat. Skim fat off liquid in slow cooker. Drizzle a few tablespoons of the remaining liquid over the meat and mix to combine.
  3. Serve on a bun as-is (a buttered and grilled bun is awesome!) or slathered with your favorite BBQ sauce. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.
