Slow-braised pulled pork doesn't get much better than this — fragrant with fresh rosemary, warm spices, and a deeply savory braising liquid built from pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, and bone broth. Every ingredient here is whole and recognizable, which matters when you're navigating a lifestyle that avoids synthetic preservatives and chemical additives commonly hiding in bottled sauces and spice blends. The rub is made from scratch with sea salt, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon, so you know exactly what's going on that pork. Searing the shoulder in coconut oil before the long oven braise builds a gorgeous crust that locks in flavor, and the honey-kissed braising liquid reduces into something almost impossibly rich. After a few hours in the Dutch oven, the meat shreds apart with zero resistance and soaks up every drop of those fragrant juices. It's the kind of deeply comforting, crowd-pleasing dish that proves clean eating never has to mean sacrificing depth or satisfaction.

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.
