Ingredients:

• 1 Pork Butt (shoulder)
• 2 (20 ounce) bottles gluten-free barbecue sauce (or optional mustard sauce noted below)
• 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 3 tablespoons sea salt
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried cumin

Directions:
Mix together all dry ingredients and rub pork shoulder until well-coated.

Marinate in a bag overnight.

Place shoulder in a roasting pan and roast for 5-6 hours, until pork is tender and shreds easily with 2 forks.

Shred the pork and place into a large pot over medium heat. Mix the meat with the barbecue sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the flavors have blended, about 30 minutes.

Option: Carolina Mustard Barbecue Sauce

This option omits barbecue sauce and skips the last cooking step in favor of topping the pork directly with Carolina mustard barbecue sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups prepared yellow mustard
• 1 cup honey
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. For best flavor, make at least a day ahead of usage.

Serve with pulled pork or barbecued brisket.
