For a deeper flavor, sear the pork shoulder on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of honey and mustard to suit your taste preferences. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice rub. The pulled pork can be made ahead of time and reheated. It also freezes well.
