Ingredients:

• 4-5 lbs pork shoulder, boneless
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon allspice

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix together apple cider, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice to create the marinade

Place the pork shoulder in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it

Ensure the pork is well coated

Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight

Preheat your barbecue to medium heat around 250-275F or 120-135C

Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the used marinade

Place the pork on the barbecue and cook indirectly for 4-6 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 195-200F 90-93C, basting with the remaining marinade every hour

Once done, remove the pork from the barbecue and let it rest for 15-20 minutes

Using two forks, shred the pork into pulled pork strands

Serve the pulled pork on buns or as desired, and enjoy!
