It's hard to live in Boston and not be excited for the Celtics. From rallies to baseball games, our World Champions are everywhere, and we love it! To honor our finals MVP Paul Pierce (whose favorite thing to eat is rumored to be soul food) here is a fantastic soul filled recipe for a BBQ pulled pork sandwich.

Dry Rub:
2 T. Kosher Salt
2 T. Pepper
2 T. Paprika
2 T. Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 T. Cayenne Pepper

Other Ingredients:
4 # Pork Roast, Shoulder
2 C. Apple Juice
1 C. Apple Cider Vinegar
2 T. Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 T. Liquid Smoke (may be omitted, but it's oh-so-good!)
1/2 T. Garlic Powder

6 Rolls of your choice
BBQ Sauce

Method:
1. Mix the dry rub together and sprinkle it onto the pork roast. Be sure to really press it into the meat so it sticks. Cover the pork and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Combine the liquid ingredients and the garlic powder in a slow cooker. Add the pork and cover. Slow cook on low for 4 hours or until the pork shreds easily.
3. Remove the pork, shred it, make it into a sammich and enjoy!

Note: If you do not have a slow cooker, you can cook these in a 325 degree oven. Just be sure to cover the pork with aluminum foil and baste the meat at least every hour.
