- 3 Small Bowls
- Sharp Knife
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F
Combine the spices for the dry rub into a small bowl (paprika, garlic salt, black pepper, ground cumin, brown sugar). Mix with a whisk or fork until fully incorporated.
Using a sharp knife, score the fat cap of the pork butt with shallow cuts in a criss-cross pattern, spacing the cuts about 1 inch apart.
Rub the dry seasoning mix thoroughly over the entire fat cap, working it into the cuts.
Place the pork butt, fat cap side up, in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Pour in apple cider vinegar and juices from oranges (and optional liquid smoke) in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and place it in a preheated 300°F oven.
Roast for 6 to 7 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.
Carefully pour the braising liquid into a separate bowl (you can add it back to the meat later to adjust the texture to your liking).
Using two forks, shred the pork directly in the baking dish.
Stir in 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, then return the dish to the oven for 30 minutes.
For extra caramelization, broil during the last 5 minutes.
