Slow Cooker Pulled Pork


Ingredients:
1 (5 lb.) pork roast
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp ground red chili pepper
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp black pepper

Directions:
In a 4 1/2 to 6 quart slow cooker, add ketchup, vinegar, molasses, honey, brown sugar, and seasonings; whisk together until completely combined.  Add pork roast to slow cooker; turn heat on low and cook for 8 to 10 hours.   When the pork is cooked through, remove from slow cooker and carefully shred the roast using tongs or preferred utensils (if roast is bone-in, make sure to carefully remove the bone before shredding).  Coat shredded pork with barbeque sauce and serve warm!  This recipe goes great with the traditional favorites such as coleslaw and pickles if desired :)

If you prefer a thick barbeque sauce, create a slurry using 2 tbsp of corn starch and water.  Pour the mixture into the sauce and whisk until thickened.
