Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 3 lbs boneless pork should (Boston butt), cut into 4 equal pieces (if in oven - I kept whole in crock pot)
  • 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in lower and upper positions.

2

In a small bowl, combine sugar, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.

3

Place pork in a 5-quart Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot; rub with spice mixture.

4

In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, garlic, and 1/2 cup water; pour over pork. Cover pot, and place in oven on lower rack. Bake until pork is very tender and separates easily when pulled with a fork, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. (I cooked in our crockpot on low heat for 4-6 hours)

5

Transfer pork to a work surface, reserving pan juices. With two forks, shred meat. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with pan juices to moisten (you may not need all the juices). Pile pork on rolls, and top with barbecue sauce, if desired.
