Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

I like this pulled pork recipe because it's easy and a little tangy and sweet.  I usually serve it on a soft bun with bbq sauce and coleslaw or on baked potatoes.

3-4 lb. pork roast (can trim off excess fat)

3 Tab. brown sugar

2 tsp. paprika (smoked or hot or whatever you have)

1 tsp. mustard powder

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

salt and pepper

1/2 c. apple cider vinegar

3 Tab. tomato paste

2 c. water

For more flavor, you could always sear your roast in hot oil first, but I'm usually lazy and skip this.

Mix together sugar, paprika, mustard powder, cumin, salt and pepper.  Rub all over roast and place in slow cooker.  Whisk together vinegar, tomato paste and water.  Pour around sides of slow cooker.  Cook on low 8 hours.  I usually do this overnight.

Remove roast to cutting board, pick off fat (to garbage) and shred meat.  Put meat in serving dish and add back about a cup of the cooking liquid.  I avoid the liquid fat left in the crockpot by skimming it off (to garbage) first.  You can always cover with foil and then reheat your serving dish in the oven for a half hour before dinner.
