Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool before using. If not using immediately, pour it into a bowl or jar. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• For the BBQ pulled pork: Combine 1-quart water with the soy sauce, salt, sugar, honey and molasses in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat and let cool. Stir in 1 gallon plus 3 quarts water. Pierce the meat with a boning knife in several places, then add the meat to the brine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Steps:

• Quarter and slice the onion into little arches. Place about half an onion's worth in the crock pot as to line the bottom.
• Place the whole pork shoulder into the crock-pot. Take just a small amount of sauce to dampen the shoulder.
• Cover with a generous coating of spice rub, if desired.
• Top with remaining onion slices. Take 75% of the sauce and pour it around the pork shoulder. Then pour the white and cider vinegars around the pork.
• Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours.
• When cooking is complete, remove cover and then carefully pull the bone out of the pork shoulder (BE CAREFUL! IT WILL BE HOT!).
• Carefully remove the meat and half of the onions from the crock-pot and put into a large bowl, leaving behind as much of the cooked vinegar solution behind as possible. A slotted spoon may be needed.
• Then with two forks (or your hands once the meat has cooled a little, if you are so inclined), "pull" (shred) the meat.
• Pour in most of the remaining, "uncooked" sauce, saving a little to add to BBQ sandwiches as desired. (Personally, I prefer using Texas Pete on my sandwiches.).
• Serve as sandwich or BBQ plate.
• Enjoy!
