- 1/2 cup chicken broth or pork broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Meat
- Pat the pork shoulder dry with kitchen paper to ensure it is dry.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this mixture over the pork shoulder, making sure to coat all sides.
Step 2: Brown the Meat (optional)
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
- Pour this mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
Step 5: Cook over low heat
- Simmer the pork shoulder for 6-8 hours on low or 4-6 hours on high, until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.
Step 6: Crumble and Serve
- Remove the pork shoulder from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
- If you wish, you can serve the roast pork with the sauce from the pot on top.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
