crocked pulled pork


1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup honey
¼ cup black cherry balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, peeled and cut in half
3 to 3 ½ pounds pork shoulder

Mix together the first six ingredients (all of the spices) with a fork. Pour in the honey, vinegar, and olive oil and stir to form a paste.

Place the onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top it with the pork and then pour the honey paste over all sides of the pork pieces.

Turn the slow cooker on to low and cook for 7 to 8 (or 10) hours or until the meat is tender enough to be easily shredded with a fork.

Serve with collard greens and Bell seasoned mashed potatoes.
