This tender pulled pork is slow-cooked with FreshJax Hog Rub for a deep, sweet, and smoky flavor that permeates every shred. It’s the ultimate "set it and forget it" meal, perfect for piling onto brioche buns, topping street tacos, or prepping high-protein meals for the week.
Good to know: For the best results, use a pork shoulder (butt). The high fat content breaks down beautifully over 8 hours, ensuring the meat stays juicy even after reheating.
3–4 lb pork shoulder
8 tbsp FreshJax Hog Rub
1 cup BBQ sauce
½ cup broth or water
1 cup ketchup
½ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup brown sugar
2–3 tbsp your FreshJax Hog Rub
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp yellow mustard (or 1 tsp dry mustard)
1 tbsp honey or molasses (optional for sweetness & body)
Optional heat: hot sauce, cayenne, or crushed red pepper
