Preparation
Step 1
Mix together Rub then rub all over the pork. Optional: Marinate for 1 hour.
Step 2
Place in the slow cooker and pour over apple cider. Slow cook for 8 hours on low or pressure cook for 1 hr 30 minutes on high. (Note 3)
Step 3
Remove pork from liquid into a roasting pan. Reserve liquid.
Step 4
OPTIONAL: Roast pork for 20 - 30 minutes at 180C/350F until browned (Note 4). Meanwhile, make BBQ Sauce.
Step 5
Shred pork with forks - it should be fall apart tender (see video).
Step 6
Toss in BBQ sauce - use as much as you like, the recipe makes enough to coat the pork well but not dripping in sauce, plus a bit extra on the side.
Step 7
To make Pulled Pork Sandwiches, pile pork on warmed rolls and top with Coleslaw. I like to lay everything out for people to make their own.
Step 8
BBQ Sauce
Step 9
Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat and whisk. Bring to simmer, then turn down the heat so it simmers gently. Cook for 1 hour. Remove from stove and use per recipe.
