Ingredients

3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into large chunks

3 teaspoons kosher salt 

2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper 

2 teaspoons garlic powder 

1 teaspoon ground cumin 

1 teaspoon smoked paprika 

1 cup apple juice 

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 

Chopped fresh parsley, for serving 

Dinner rolls, for serving 

Directions

  1. Add the pork, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin and paprika to a 6-quart slow cooker. Toss to combine, then pour in the apple juice. Cover with the lid and let cook for 8 hours on low, or until the pork is easily shreddable.
  2. Remove the pork from the juices to a serving dish and shred with forks or fingers.
  3. Add the butter to a small skillet over medium heat and let melt. Whisk in the flour until combined, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup drippings from the slow cooker and whisk until thickened. Taste for seasoning. Drizzle over the pork or transfer to a serving dish. Serve the pork warm with warm gravy and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Eat with the dinner rolls.

This was delicious! A nice change from bbq. Since I'm cooking for just me, I used a couple of boneless country style ribs and cooked in a 300 degree oven with all of the ingredients called for. It took about 2 1/2 hours. I did use chicken stock rather than apple juice (didn't have on hand). I made with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. I could have eaten the gravy alone with a spoon. It's a keeper!
