Ingredients
- 1 3-4 pound pork shoulder. I use Boston butt
- 1 1/2 cup apple cider ( not vinegar cider )
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- extra virgin
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
- 1 tsp grated
- fresh ginger
- 1/3 cup good bourbon. I use Jim beam for mine
- 2 clove finely chopped garlic
- 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Favorite BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except BBQ sauce, in crock pot or slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 6-7 hours or longer if needed.
- The pork needs to be tender enough to shred.
- When pork is done, remove from pot and shred.
- Mix 2 cups of the juices from the crock pot with the BBQ sauce and bring to boil to reduce and thicken slightly.
- Usually about 2 minutes or so.
- Stir constantly.
- Pour over shredded pork and serve.
- You can also mix all together and keep warm in crock pot after removing the cooking liquid first.
