2 tbsp (25 mL) Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 lbs (2 kg) boneless pork shoulder (pork butt roast)
Cooking liquid:
2 cups (500 mL) water
1 cup (250 mL) apple juice
½ cup (125 mL) maple syrup
1 tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce

Directions

1. Combine brown sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, mustard and garlic. Rub into pork roast. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Combine water, apple juice, maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce. Place garlic and onions in the bottom of a Dutch oven and set roast on top. Add liquid. Cover roast surface with parchment paper, then cover container tightly. Cook in a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven for 4 to 5 hours or longer, until pork is so tender that it falls apart when pierced with a fork. Turn roast a few times during cooking.
3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, whisk barbecue sauce with maple syrup, Worcester-shire sauce, mustard, vinegar and soy sauce. Bring to a boil.
4. When roast is ready, remove from Dutch oven. Slice and reheat in the sauce.
5. For pulled pork: Cool roast for about an hour, then shred meat into pieces. Com-bine with sauce. Place in a baking dish, cover, then heat thoroughly in a pre-heated 350°F (180°C) oven for approximately 30 minutes.
