Ingredients

    •3 tablespoons paprika
    •2 tablespoons salt (if desired, you can cut back on the salt by only using 1 tablespoon)
    •2 teaspoons black pepper
    •1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (if desired, you can cut back on the pepper by only using ½ teaspoon of cayenne)
    •1 teaspoon garlic powder
    •½ teaspoon dried thyme
    •½ cup honey
    •Ό cup red wine vinegar
    •3 tablespoons olive oil
    •1 onion, peeled and cut in half
    •3 to 3 ½ pounds pork shoulder, cut in half

Tips

I reduced salt and oil.


Directions

1.In a medium size mixing bowl, mix together the first six ingredients (all of the spices) with a fork.
2.Pour in the honey, vinegar, and olive oil and stir to form a paste.
3.Place the onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top it with the 2 pieces of pork and then pour the honey paste over all sides of the pork pieces. It’s okay if some of it (or a lot of it) just drips down to the bottom.
4.Turn the slow cooker on to low and cook for 7 to 8 hours or until the meat is tender enough to be easily shredded with a fork.
5.Serve warm with fixings like homemade cole slaw and cornbread. Refrigerate or freeze the leftovers.
