Winters are long and cold in Vermont, so we look for lots of comfort foods to help us through. This slow cooker recipe is perfect for a cozy Sunday. We often spend the day skiing and then load up on pulled pork in the evening. We are then well prepared for the week ahead!
Use 2 pounds of pork shoulder. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon each:salt, ground pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Rub all over the pork shoulder and let it sit while you prepare everything else.
Whisk together ⅓ cup maple syrup and ⅓ apple cider vinegar. Slice an onion and lay it on the bottom of your crockpot.
Place pork on top of onion and pour maple/vinegar mixture over it. Cook on low for 8 hours and then shred with a fork. Serve on buns or over vegetables. Enjoy!

sugar, we knew we needed to get creative and make our own.

These cookies are a perfect balance of gooey chocolate, with a hint of maple. Adding walnuts creates an other worldly flavor!
