Slow Cooker “Barbecued” Pork Shoulder Roast
1 3–3½ pound pork shoulder roast
Southern Barbecue Dry Rub
½ cup water
Generously rub the Southern Barbecue Dry Rub all over the pork roast. Put a collapsible vegetable steamer in the slow cooker. Pour the ½ cup water in. Put the pork roast on the steamer.
Cook on Low until very tender, 9-10 hours.
Remove the roast to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Strain the liquid from the slow cooker into a pot. Bring to a boil and cook until it reduces into a sauce. Pour over the roast and serve.
