Seed Oil Free Rosemary & Apple Cider Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork is one of those deeply satisfying dishes that rewards patience, and this version delivers on every level. The pork shoulder is rubbed with fresh rosemary, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon before getting a hard sear in coconut oil — the only fat used here, which means you're completely clear of industrially processed vegetable and seed oils from start to finish. That matters more than people realize, since most store-bought pulled pork and even many homemade recipes default to canola or soybean oil without a second thought. The braising liquid is where things get really interesting: pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, bone broth, and a touch of honey create a complex, slightly tangy base that soaks back into the shredded meat for incredible depth of flavor. After nearly four hours in a low oven, the pork becomes fall-apart tender and pulls apart effortlessly with two forks. Every ingredient is whole and recognizable, so you know exactly what's going into the pot and onto your plate. It's the kind of meal that fills the kitchen with an aroma that makes everyone wander in asking when dinner is ready.
