Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat; 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth; 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar; 1/4 cup low-sugar ketchup; 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce; 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute; 1 tablespoon smoked paprika; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon onion powder; Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep the Pork: Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork shoulder. Season the pork generously with salt and pepper.
Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the low-sodium chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, low-sugar ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar substitute, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Slow Cooker Method: Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the pork, making sure it's evenly coated.
Cooking Time: Cook the pork on low heat for 8-10 hours, or on high heat for 5-6 hours, until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
Shred the Pork: Once the pork is cooked through and tender, remove it from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
Reduce the Sauce: Remove excess fat from the sauce in the slow cooker. You can use a fat separator for this step. Then, pour the sauce into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it thickens slightly.
Mix the Sauce with the Pork: Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, pour it over the shredded pork. Mix well to ensure all the meat is coated in the flavorful sauce.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Diabetic Pulled Pork on whole grain buns or over a bed of lettuce for a low-carb option. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
