Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 4 burger buns
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

How to Make Pulled Pork Sandwich with Creamy Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.
3. Place the seasoned pork in a large Dutch oven and pour the chicken broth around it. Cover with a lid and roast in the oven for 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
4. While the pork cooks, prepare the creamy sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth. Set aside.
5. Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the pork using two forks.
6. To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of the creamy sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with shredded pulled pork, a handful of fresh raspberries, and sprinkle with chopped mint leaves.
7. Finish with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, marinate the pork overnight with the spice rub.
• Ensure the pork is cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 190°F (88°C) for perfect shredding.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the creamy sauce by adding more or less honey to taste.

Easy Variations

• Swap out raspberries for blueberries or strawberries for a different flavor.
• Add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Use a different type of bread, like ciabatta or a pretzel bun, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy coleslaw for a crunchy side.
• Seasoned sweet potato fries for a hearty complement.
• A refreshing cucumber salad to balance the richness of the sandwich.
