Ingredients

  • 1.3 Kg approximately 3 pounds Pork Shoulder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • ½ cup of BBQ sauce sugar-free
  • ¼ cup of vinegar 60 ml
  • ½ cup of chicken broth 120 ml
  • Salt to taste.

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing your pork shoulder. Trim any excess fat from the meat, leaving a thin layer for flavor. Rub the garlic and seasoning evenly over the surface of the pork shoulder, ensuring it's well-coated with the aromatic blend. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Place the seasoned pork shoulder into your slow cooker, ensuring it fits comfortably without overcrowding.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar-free BBQ sauce, vinegar, and chicken broth. This sauce will infuse the meat with a rich and tangy flavor. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the pork in the slow cooker, evenly coating the meat. Cover the slow cooker with its lid, and set the cooking temperature to low. Slow cook the pork shoulder for approximately 6 hours. This low and slow method will ensure the meat becomes tender and easily pull-apart.
  • After 6 hours, carefully remove the cooked pork from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. The meat should be incredibly tender and easy to pull apart. If you prefer a saucier pulled pork, you can return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining juices and sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Serve your delicious Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork on fresh buns or as desired. You can also garnish it with coleslaw, pickles, or any other toppings you enjoy. Enjoy your homemade, sugar-free BBQ pulled pork that's packed with flavor and incredibly tender!
