Apple Cider Pork Roast
Ingredients:
2-4lb Grass Powered Pork Roast
1 cup apple cider
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar (could increase to 1/2 cup for bigger roasts)
1 Tbsp Paprika
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
optional - substitute 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg!
Instructions:
Rub the pork roast with all the spices.
Place the roast in a crockpot with the apple cider, apple cider vinegar and brown sugar.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the pork is tender and shreds with a fork.
Mix the shredded pork with the cooking liquid.
Serve over mashed potatoes, on buns with coleslaw, with cheesy grits, or just sneak bites straight from the crockpot!
Optional: This can also be made in the oven if you have a love/hate relationship with the crockpot like I do. I will say, this is one recipe I make in the crockpot and it turns out amazing!
Oven Instructions: After covering the roast in all the spices I brown the roast in a bit of lard, butter, or avocado oil, add all the liquids and brown sugar, then cook on 275 for a few hours in the oven with the lid on.
