Steps:
- Mix together 2 tsp each smoked paprika, ground cumin, pepper, and brown sugar, plus 1 tsp salt. Rub over the 2.5kg boneless shoulder of pork.
- Put the pork in a big casserole dish, skin-side up, and pour in 2 medium mugfuls of cider.
- Cover with a lid and cook in the oven at 150C/130C fan/gas 2 for anywhere between 4 and 8 hrs until falling apart. Check every few hours in case it gets dry - if it does, add another mugful of cider.
- Take it out of the oven and put the meat in a big dish, leaving the liquid in the casserole.
- Cut the skin off, then shred the meat using two forks. Ditch any fatty bits, and skim any excess fat off the surface of the sauce.
- Add a mugful of a good smoky BBQ sauce to the casserole, mix it in, then ladle some into a bowl for dipping.
- Put the pulled pork back in the casserole with the juices so it stays moist. Season to taste. Can be made one day ahead.
- Serve in soft white rolls with coleslaw and the bowl of juices on the side for 'French dipping' the sandwich while you're eating.

Tips:
- Use a good quality hard cider. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pulled pork.
- Sear the pork shoulder all over before braising. This will help it to develop a nice crust and flavor.
- Use a slow cooker or Dutch oven to braise the pork shoulder. This will allow it to cook slowly and evenly.
- Add plenty of spices and seasonings to the braising liquid. This will help to flavor the pork and make it extra delicious.
- Cook the pork shoulder until it is fall-apart tender. This will usually take 8-10 hours on low in a slow cooker or 6-8 hours over medium-low heat in a Dutch oven.
- Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
