Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons salt (if desired, you can cut back on the salt by only using 1 tablespoon)

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (if desired, you can cut back on the pepper by only using 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and cut in half
  • 3 to 3 1/2 pounds pork shoulder, cut in half

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium size mixing bowl, 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 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.
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.
Serve warm with fixings like homemade cole slaw and cornbread. The author's husband also likes his dipped in a little hot sauce. Refrigerate or freeze the leftovers.
