How to Make Barbecued Carolina Pork
- Quarter 1 large onion and place in the bottom of your crockpot.
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Rub this mixture all over a 3-4 pound pork roast.
- Place the seasoned pork roast on top of the onions in the crockpot.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Mix well until all the flavors are thoroughly blended.
- Drizzle approximately 1/3 of the vinegar mixture over the pork roast.
- Refrigerate the remaining vinegar mixture.
- Cook the pork roast on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, drizzle another 1/3 of the refrigerated vinegar mixture over the pork.
- Remove the cooked pork and onions from the crockpot. Drain any excess liquid.
- Chop or shred the pork and finely chop the onions.
- Serve the shredded pork and chopped onions on hamburger buns.
- For the ultimate flavor explosion, top your pork sandwich with creamy coleslaw (recipe not included) and drizzle with the remaining vinegar mixture.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
