  • cup cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp. sweet paprika
  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. yellow mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 4 lb. boneless pork shoulder blade roast (fresh pork butt)
  • 12 soft sandwich buns or ciabatta rolls
  • Dill pickles (optional)
