Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs Swift Pork Shoulder Blade
  • 4 Tbsp packed brown sugar (divided 60 mL)
  • 3 Tbsp paprika (45 mL)
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder (15 mL)
  • 1 Tbsp dry mustard (15 mL)
  • 1 tsp salt (5 mL)
  • 1.5 kg roast
  • 1 soup mix
  • 1.4 oz onion
  • 1/2 C chicken broth (375 mL)
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (1 mL)
  • 1/2 C tomatoes
  • 375 mm chili sauce
  • 3 Tbsp cider vinegar (45 mL)
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce (15 mL)
  • Buns (Kaiser, warmed)

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, mustard and salt. Rub over all sides of pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Place pork in slow cooker. Whisk together soup mix and broth; pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until pork shreds easily with a fork.
  3. Transfer pork to a plate and let cool slightly.
  4. Using a spoon, remove excess fat from surface of sauce. Pour sauce into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until syrupy. Stir in remaining brown sugar, cayenne, chili sauce, vinegar and soy sauce; simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt and cayenne, if desired.
  5. Meanwhile, transfer pork to a cutting board and add accumulated juices to sauce. Using two forks, shred pork, placing it in a serving bowl. (This is a super-messy job but worth the effort!) Pour 1 C (250 mL) sauce over shredded meat, turning pork to absorb sauce.
  6. Serve pork on warmed buns, topped with coleslaw, with extra sauce for dipping.
