Equipment

  • Crock Pot

Ingredients

  • 3 lb Pork Butt; Boston Butt or Pork Roast
  • 2 tbsp Salt or to taste
  • 1 tbsp Pepper or to taste
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika or to taste
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar optional, can replace with water
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Paste

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine dry spices to combine.
  • Rub your spices on the pork, if you don't have enough whip up another batch. You want to coat the meat, as it is a large cut you need to ensure it is covered.
  • Whisk together Vinegar, Water and Tomato Paste, and pour into crockpot.
  • Add the meat and cook on the lowest setting until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees.

Notes

Make sure the entire cut of meat is covered in seasoning. 
Depending on your crock pot cooking time may vary, it make take but as a general rule its about 1.5-2 hours per pound so a 3 pound roast can be done in as little as 4.5 hours.  
It's pretty hard to overcook a pork shoulder when using this method as long as the moisture retained so be sure to use a lid – but once the meat starts to become tender, keep an eye on it you want to shut it off when the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees.  Use a cooking thermometer
