Pulled pork can be served in numerous ways and the most popular one is a sandwich filling, other ways can be topped over rice or served on its own. This recipe will be really easy but you have to be patient as the best way to prepare it conveniently id the slow cooker method, so best to do it early in the morning (make sure someone is at home looking after it) so when you come home it’s all ready for you and your favourite bread.
