Lactose Free Rosemary & Apple Cider Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork is the kind of meal that fills the whole house with an aroma that makes everyone wander into the kitchen asking when dinner will be 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 serious crust, and then the pork braises low and slow in a braising liquid of pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, bone broth, and honey — no cream, no butter, no dairy of any kind needed to get that rich, glossy result. The braising liquid does all the heavy lifting, reducing into a deeply savory, slightly tangy sauce that the shredded pork gets tossed back into before serving. Pulled pork recipes can sometimes sneak in dairy through butter-based finishing sauces or store-bought seasoning blends, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. The result is fork-tender, fall-apart meat with layers of flavor that taste far more complex than the ingredient list suggests.
