I fell in love with this pork a few weeks ago at a church activity. It was moist and juicy, and mild. Pork (aside from bacon and ham) has never been my favorite, and for many years I flat out refused to eat it, but I'm slowly giving it another chance. It is delicious and so easy!!
I served the pork in sandwiches with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, but it would also be great in quesadillas, burritos, nachos, etc.
Shredded Pork
1 pork shoulder (mine was about 4-5 lbs.)
seasoning salt
3/4 cups water
Place pork and water in crock pot. Liberally sprinkle with seasoning salt. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. At this point, the pork should fall apart when you touch it. If it doesn't, cook it a bit longer. Remove as much fat as desired and shred pork. Place in a ziploc bag and pour 1 - 1 1/2 cups juice over the pork. Seal bag and let sit for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and enjoy.
This also freezes well. After you've poured the juice back over the pork, seal the bag and pop it in the freezer.
