Pulled Pork and Slaw Sammies

Say it with me: slow cooked pulled pork.... I have a few weaknesses, like coconut cream pie, Paula Deen's creamy mac & cheese... But pulled pork sandwiches? They're so hard to turn down! I have never made it myself before, but pork should was on sale and I had a hankerin, so....

1 pork shoulder or pork butt
2 stems fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp cayenne
2 Tbsp paprika
2 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp onion powder
1 tsp celery seed
Zest and juice of one large orange
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup brown sugar

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, then rub all over the meat. Put the meat in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast at 250 for 6-8 hours. NO PEAKING, AND NO PICKING! Leave it alone! Low and slow baby. Let it get all nice and happy and soft and delicious and juicy and ... I digress... Once it's done cooking, remove and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Remove the foil, and with two large forks (or a couple knives if you prefer chunks), begin to shred the meat. Serve on a soft sweet bun, top with some coleslaw, and baked beans on the side. Any juice left in the roasting pan can be strained (or blendered) and reduced to use as a sauce. Hope you enjoy!!
