Cooking Instructions
1.
In a large vessel, combine the Molasses (3/4 cup), Dark Brown Sugar (3/4 cup), Salt (3/4 cup), and Water (8 cups). Stir brine well enough to dissolve the salt. Let the brine cool to room temperature.
2.
Submerge the Pork Shoulder (5 lb). Place a lid smaller than then opening of the vessel on top of the pork to weigh it down. Refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.
3.
Place the Cumin Seeds (1 tsp), Caraway Seeds (1 tsp) and Ground Coriander (1 tsp) in a spice or coffee grinder and grind until fine.
4.
Transfer to a small bowl and add the Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1/2 tsp), Chili Powder (1 Tbsp), Simply Organic Onion Powder (1 Tbsp), and Smoked Paprika (1 Tbsp).
5.
Reserving 1 cup of the brining fluid, remove the pork shoulder from the brine and pat dry. Evenly distribute and rub the spices all over the pork.
6.
Heat 2 tablespoon of Canola Oil (as needed) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder and cook for 3 – 5 minutes per side or until slightly charred. Add 2 tablespoon of oil each time you rotate.
7.
Place the reserved brine in the bottom of a 5 – 6 quart slow cooker and add pork shoulder. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours. Do not open the lid until done.
8.
Remove the pork shoulder and let rest for 1 hour. Then pull apart with two forks.
9.
Use Unsalted Butter (to taste) to butter the inside of each slider bun and cook on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Assemble the Slider Buns (32). I highly recommend adding coleslaw!
