Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prep the Pork: Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork shoulder. Season the pork generously with salt and pepper.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
