SLOW COOKER CAROLINA BBQ

Steps:

• Place the pork shoulder into a slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Pour the vinegar around the pork. Cover, and cook on Low for 12 hours. Pork should easily pull apart into strands.
• Remove the pork from the slow cooker and discard any bones. Strain out the liquid, and save 2 cups. Discard any extra. Shred the pork using tongs or two forks, and return to the slow cooker. Stir the brown sugar, hot pepper sauce, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes into the reserved sauce. Mix into the pork in the slow cooker. Cover and keep on Low setting until serving.

EAST CAROLINA VINEGAR BBQ SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Prep. Pour all the ingredients into a jar and shake. Let it sit for at least 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld. A week is better.
• Use. You can use it as a mop when you cook, you can use it as a finishing sauce when you serve the meat, or both. In the Carolinas, it is usually used as both a mop and a finishing sauce.
• To use it as both a mop and finishing sauce, warm it, pour a few ounces (~89mL) into a cup and paint it on the meat with a basting brush once every hour or so while it is cooking. If you use it as a mop, the sauce in the cup can get contaminated with uncooked meat juices on the brush. That's why you don't want to dip the brush in the whole bottle. Discard contaminated mop and serve untouched sauce at the table.
