directions

Mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt together and rub over pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 300°. Roast pork for about 6 hours. Roast until the meat reaches 170° or until it’s falling apart.

For the sauce, combine vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.

When the pork is done, allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While it’s resting, deglaze the pan over medium heat with 3/4 cup water, scraping with a wooden spoon to pick up all of the browned bits. Reduce by about half. Pour that into the saucepan with the sauce and cook 5 minutes.

While the pork is still warm, use 2 forks to pull the meat apart into shreds. Put the shredded pork in a bowl and pour half of the sauce over. Stir it all up well so that the pork is coated with the sauce.

Serve on hamburger buns with a pickle slice.
