Ingredients
3 to 4 pounds pork shoulder, with bone
4 cloves garlic, peeled but left whole
1 cup apple cider vinegar
12 peppercorns
THE SAUCE
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Preparation
- Step 1
In a Dutch oven, combine the pork, garlic, vinegar and peppercorns and add enough water to cover. Bring liquid to a boil over moderately high heat, skimming the froth as it rises to the surface. Simmer, partially covered, for about three hours, or until very tender.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining the vinegar, pepper and salt in a covered container, shaking vigorously to blend.
- Step 3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Step 4
Remove the pork from the Dutch oven, discarding the liquid. Place pork on the rack of a roasting pan, and baste thoroughly with the spicy sauce. Baste every 15 minutes or so, turning the meat after 1 ½ hours. It should roast for a total of about three hours with constant basting, so it does not dry out. The fat should be crisp.
- Step 5
Remove pork from the oven, chop very finely with a large knife, and sauce again. The mixture should be moist, but not soupy. Serve warm, with cole slaw and white bread.

I tried that recipe but I put my own twist to it I added pink Hawaiian salt ketchup cloves brown sugar &oregano then I smoked it. The sauce is going to be Tangy.add a little sugar sweet and spicy but if that's u want it so be it.
