Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast
• 1 cup barbeque sauce
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon paprika

3. Optional. Using a sharp knife, trim the fat cap from the pork; do leave some intact
4. Drizzle olive oil over all sides of pork roast and then cover with spice mixture.
