Previous image Next image Moist and tender pulled pork, deeply flavored and with just a hint of smokiness! We were craving pulled pork something fierce last week, so we got ourselves a nice pork shoulder and got looking for a good indoor recipe. We finally decided on a slow-cooker pulled pork recipe published a few years back on The Splendid Table radio show. The recipe is a snap. We did add an extra step - we seared our pork before putting it in the slow cooker and then deglazed the pan with a splash of cider vinegar. Really, the hardest thing about this recipe is waiting for it to be done! But resist we did, and we were rewarded with meat that literally fell apart as soon as we touched it.

It has been a very long time since we had pulled pork this good. Really, we can't say enough good things here. Have any of you made this recipe?
