Yeast Free Maple Garlic Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork is one of those dishes that fills the whole house with an aroma so good it feels unfair to anyone who isn't eating it. This version builds serious depth through a spice rub of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon before the pork even hits the pan, and a long, low braise in maple syrup, coconut aminos, and bone broth does the rest of the heavy lifting. Because the sauce skips fermented condiments and leavening agents entirely, it's a genuinely satisfying option for anyone navigating yeast-related dietary needs without wanting to sacrifice bold, complex flavor. Coconut aminos bring that savory, umami backbone you'd normally expect from soy sauce, while the apple cider vinegar adds just enough brightness to balance the sweetness of the maple. After nearly four hours in the oven, the pork shoulder shreds into long, silky strands that soak up every drop of the reduced, glossy braising liquid. It's the kind of low-effort, high-reward cooking that makes a big batch feel like a gift to your future self — equally good piled onto a plate or tucked into whatever you're serving alongside it.
