Let's Get Started
First, preheat the oven to 275 degrees Farenheit, or 140 degrees Celsius. Next, mix the spices, sugar, and salt using a bowl. Afterwards, rub the mixture onto the pork until it is fully covered, then place the seasoned pork inside a casserole dish, pour in the cider, and place a lid or sheet of tin foil on top of the dish, then cook for approximately five hours until the pork starts to fall apart. Once the pork is ready, gently remove it from the casserole dish and place it on a tray, before skimming any excess fat from the juices left in the dish. Next, you will add the barbecue sauce made in paragraph two to the juices, and then mix. The final steps are to shred the pork using a few forks, whilst removing any fatty bits of the meat, before mixing it with the BBQ sauce.
To make the BBQ sauce, start by placing all of the ingredients into a medium saucepan, which will be brought to a steady simmer over low heat. Once the sugar has fully dissolved, slightly raise the heat and boil for 2-3 minutes. Afterwards, remove the sauce from the heat and leave it to cool.
