Sauce

You’ll do this AFTER the shoulder is cooked. (Also you should have some broth left over that will be good for a soup base.)

  1. Reserve 2-3 cups of the broth out of the slow cooker.
  2. Add the same dry ingredients to the reserved broth + Ancho chiles. (2-3 chiles will give lots of smokey flavor, adjust to your taste.)
  3. Blend ingredients until smooth.
  4. Heat oil in sauce pan, add flour - stir for 1 minute.
  5. Add blended ingredients, cook until it thickens up (~10 minutes)
  6. Mix with shredded pork.
