A smoked pork shoulder (also known as picnic ham) gives pulled pork a smoky flavor similar to ham, and it makes amazing sandwiches! Serve the pulled smoked pork on hoagie rolls with spicy mustard!
Ingredients
- 1 picnic ham, about 5 to 6 pounds bone-in or 3 pounds boneless
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar

- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 to 10 sandwich buns, toasted if desired

Instructions
- Pat the smoked pork picnic dry with paper towels and place it in the slow cooker.
- Combine the vinegar, brown sugar, black pepper, and crushed red pepper; pour over the ham.
- Cover and cook on high for 5 to 6 hours or on low for 8 to 9 hours.
