Here\u2019s a glance at what you\u2019ll need. <strong>Scroll down to the recipe card for the printable ingredients list and measurements.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pork Shoulder<\/strong> \u2013 I use bone-in pork shoulder for this recipe. If you prefer boneless, good slow-cooking cuts include boneless pork shoulder, pork butt roast, or center-cut pork loin. You may need to adjust the cooking time as boneless cuts cook faster than bone-in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ground Mustard<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0You can substitute 1 tablespoon of prepared mustard, like yellow mustard or Dijon, for every 1 teaspoon of ground mustard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Light or dark brown sugar, whichever you have on hand. Maple syrup would also go nicely with the flavors in this pulled pork recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Either a yellow onion or a white onion, thinly sliced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thyme<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Fresh has the best flavor.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong> \u2013 You\u2019ll slice the garlic in half to stuff into slits in the pork. As the pork slowly cooks, the garlic infuses the meat with flavor, similar to how cloves infuse a <a href=\"https:\/\/cookiesandcups.com\/pineapple-baked-ham-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">baked ham<\/a>. So good!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apple Juice <\/strong>\u2013\u00a0This can be regular apple juice or, even better, fresh apple cider when it\u2019s in season. Apple and pork go together like peanut butter and jelly!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" data-pin-description=\"This crock pot pulled pork recipe makes the best sliders!
