Ingredients
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ cup water
  • 3-4 pound pork shoulder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 14 ounces (about one bag) of coleslaw salad mix
  • ¾ cup ranch dressing
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more if desired)
Instructions
  1. Place apple cider vinegar and water in the bottom of a slow cooker and add pork shoulder. Mix spices in a small bowl until blended. Rub spice mixture into the pork on all sides. I add the ingredients in this order so the liquid doesn't wash off the spices.
  2. Slow cook on low for eight hours or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degree F.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the cole slaw mixture with cayenne pepper and ranch dressing.
  4. Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred, discarding any large fatty pieces.
  5. Serve (with juices, if desired) on buns topped with slaw and fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
