Slow-braised pulled pork is the kind of dish that fills the whole house with an aroma so good people start wandering into the kitchen hours before dinner is ready. This version layers earthy rosemary, warm turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon into a spice rub that gets pressed deep into a bone-in pork shoulder before it ever hits the heat. A hard sear in coconut oil builds a caramelized crust, and then the real magic happens in a Dutch oven with pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, bone broth, and honey — a braising liquid that's tangy, subtly sweet, and absolutely packed with flavor. After a long, low oven braise, the pork shreds apart with almost no effort and gets tossed back into those concentrated juices so every strand is coated. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about unexpected additions sneaking in. It's a genuinely crowd-pleasing centerpiece that works beautifully over rice, tucked into a roll, or piled onto a plate on its own.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the pork shoulder completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, chopped rosemary, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, pressing it into any crevices.
Heat the coconut oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork shoulder and sear, turning with tongs every 3–4 minutes, until deeply browned on all sides, about 12–15 minutes total. Transfer the pork to a plate.
