Ingredients

Oven-Roasted Pulled Pork

1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. ground coriander
1 Tbsp. paprika
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 7-pound bone-in, skin-on pork butt or shoulder, cut into 3 pieces
1/2 cup apricot jam
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
4 jalapeños, seeded and thinly sliced
Thick-sliced white bread, for serving

Sweet-and-Spicy Sauce

1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Directions

Oven-Roasted Pulled Pork
1. Step 1Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine cumin, coriander, paprika, 5 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a bowl. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place pork on baking sheet and rub with spice mixture. Spoon jam on pork and turn to coat.
2. Step 2Scatter onions and jalapeños around pork. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover with aluminum foil, crimping edges to seal. Roast until pork shreds easily, 4 to 5 hours.
3. Step 3Transfer pork to a large bowl. Shred meat using two forks; discard bones, skin, and fat. Add onions, jalapeños, and pan juices, and toss to combine. Serve with bread and Sweet-and-Spicy Sauce alongside (reserving 1/3 cup sauce for Roasted Red Cabbage-and-Collard Green Slaw).
Sweet-and-Spicy Sauce
1. Step 1Whisk together apple cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Makes 1 1/4 cups.
