Steps:
- 1. Cut small slits, about 1 to 1-1/2 inches in length, all along the surface of the pork. Rub the pork with Hawaiian or coarse sea salt then with liquid smoke.
- 2. Lay out a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, and place leaves on top. Place pork on leaves and wrap them around the pork. Cover with remaining leaves until pork is completely covered. Wrap the foil tightly around the pork to make a seal.
- 3. Place roast in a slow cooker with apple cider or water. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
- 4. Remove meat from slow cooker. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes then shred adding drippings if needed to keep the meat moist.
- 5. You can add vegetables, water, and some of the shredded pork to the stock for a nice soup.
