Slow-Cooker Maple Pulled Pork
INGREDIENTS
Servings: 6-8
4-6 pounds boneless pork shoulder

PREPARATION
1. Combine spices (using ½ teaspoon cayenne) and rub all over pork shoulder.
2. Place pork shoulder in a slow cooker and cook on high for 4-6 hours (depending on your machine). Cook until pork is fork tender and easily falls apart.

5. Serve with buns or cornbread.
6. Enjoy!
