Slow-braised pulled pork doesn't get much more satisfying than this — a bone-in pork shoulder rubbed with fragrant rosemary, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon, then seared until deeply golden and braised low and slow until it practically falls apart on its own. The braising liquid is where the magic really happens: pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, bone broth, and a touch of honey create a rich, tangy-sweet bath that soaks into every shred of meat. After a long, unhurried stint in the oven, two forks are all you need to pull it into tender, juicy ribbons. Tree nut allergies can make store-bought sauces and spice blends a genuine minefield, but every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify — no hidden fillers, no mystery seasonings. The whole dish comes together in a Dutch oven, which means the flavors concentrate beautifully without any complicated equipment or extra steps. Pile it high on a bun, spoon it over roasted vegetables, or eat it straight from the pot — honestly, no one would judge you.

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.
