North Carolina Style Pulled Pork In Crock Pot With Nc Vinegar Sauce & Coleslaw

• Pulled Pork and Sauce
• 3 Medium Sized Vidalia Onions
• 3.5-4.0 pounds Pork Shoulder or Butt (Bone In)
• 1 Can of Coca Cola
• a healthy dashes Sea (or Kosher) Salt and Freshly Ground Tri-Color Pepper Mix
• 1 Small Head of Cabbage
• 1 Medium Sized Vidalia Onion
• 1 Medium sized Carrot
• 1/2 cup Granulated White Sugar
• 1 cup Cider Vinegar
• 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground Mustard Seed (or Dry Mustard)
• 1 teaspoon Ground Celery Seed (or Celery Salt)
• 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Tri-Colored Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt (or Kosher Salt)
• NC Vinegar Sauce
• 2 cups Cider Vinegar
• 1/8 cup Vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup Water
• 1 cup Heinz Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper

1. Slice 3 onions into 1/4" discs and layer on the bottom of Crock Pot.
2. Trim about half of the fat and rind (if applicable) off the Pork. Leaving some fat and rind is important! There's flavor in there! Don't worry, we'll get rid of lots of it later. Set entire Pork on the bed of sliced onions in the Crock Pot with the fattiest side facing up.
3. Pour 1 can of Coca Cola over the pork. The carbonation is going to work right away! (In other words, don't sub flat Coca Cola from an old 2 liter bottle in your fridge. It has to be freshly opened!)
4. Season the top of the pork with plenty of Salt and Pepper.
5. Put lid on Crock Pot and cook for 8-10 hours on Low.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the Coleslaw. Roughly chop the cabbage, one remaining onion, and the Carrot. Place in Food Processor and pulse a few times to get a fairly fine chop. (Alternately, finely dice cabbage, carrot, and onion as small as possible) Move diced Cabbage, Carrot, and Onion to a large Mixing Bowl.
7. Mix next 7 ingredients (White Sugar through Sea Salt) in a separate bowl with a whisk until sugar is dissolved.
8. Pour whisked liquid mix over diced cabbage and onion. Cover bowl and refrigerate until Pork is done. At least 5 hours if you make the Coleslaw later in the day.
9. After 8-10 hours, turn Crock Pot to Warm or Off. Remove lid from Crock Pot and allow pork to cool for 30 mins. Use a big spoon and fork to shred the Pork while simultaneously removing any leftover fat, bone, and rind and discarding. This will be easy to do. It's a little gross but well worth the fact that you left it in there for the first 8-10 hours of cooking. Trust me.
10. Drain and discard about 1/2 to 2/3 of the liquid in the Crock Pot while keeping all of the shredded Pork in the Crock Pot.
11. Add 3/4 of the NC Vinegar Sauce, stir to coat, and cook on low for another 2-4 hours.
12. Pile juicy Pulled Pork on your favorite soft buns and top with NC Style Coleslaw. Enjoy!
13. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until it boils.
14. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for an hour.
15. Whisk sauce and pour into a cool bowl. Add to Pork as instructed above. Use leftovers to spice up individual sandwiches or plates.
