Place pork in a slow cooker. In a separate bowl, whisk together tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, water, molasses, and mustard powder. Pour over the pork.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until pork is fall-apart tender. Remove pork from slow cooker and shred with two forks. Stir shredded pork back into the sauce.
