I hate pulled pork as it's way to sweet for my liking but I am makeing this one for the second time today. Not sweet and I get to ad my favourite sauce afterwards with homemade coleslaw on a fresh bun.
Slow-Cooker Carolina-Style Pulled Pork (Crock-Pot Recipe Five Ingredient Friday)
This slow-cooked pulled pork is “Carolina-Style” because of the vinegar base it is cooked in. Slow cooking makes for tender and juicy meat infused with the tang of vinegar and hot sauce. Serve with your favourite BBQ sauce.

Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Southern
Ingredients
5 pound Pork Shoulder (or butt) Roast
4 cups apple cider vinegar
4 cups hot water
½ cup Tabasco (or other similar hot sauce-Frank’s would be good too)
½ cup sugar
Instructions
Place the pork in the crock-pot, fat side up.
In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the liquid over the pork in the crock-pot (if the liquid doesn’t cover the pork completely, add a bit more water).
Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours (mine took 5) or until the meat pulls away from the bone easily (cooking on low, I’m guessing this would take 8-9 hours and you really can’t overcook this meat).
Remove from the liquid and allow to cool a bit. Using two forks, or your fingers, pull long shreds of the meat, discarding the fat.
Serve with your favourite sauce
