Sweet, spicy, juicy pulled pork – cooked low and slow until the meat falls off the bone in tender juicy deliciousness…
Everyone has a recipe for pulled pork, right? Good. Then you don’t need me to post one. The End. Oh. Wait. You don’t? You want to hear about what I do? Well…. ALRIGHT. IF YOU INSIST! I am new to the world of Pulled Pork. I had never heard of it, much less tried it before moving to the United States. Oh my, it’s TASTY though! A friend was visiting from Texas and was coming for lunch on Sunday. She had mentioned that pulled pork was a favorite (I believe I quote her directly when I say she said “if my own arm was made of pulled pork I would eat it”). I went looking for a recipe, and found as many variations as you can think of. I settled on this made up version because I had all the ingredients, and improvised with the rest, and added a few special touches that I thought might work. They did.
This is GREAT to make ahead and serve the next day. In fact, the flavors are even better with a little waiting time.

Oh this sounds yummy! I've never made pulled pork before, but I always make 'pulled lamb' for Easter (if there is such a name hehe). Your version sound delish (but I would cut back on the chipotle chili powder for my little wee ones). 🙂
We have been watching these American BBQ cook off shows and I almost die when I hear they are ganna do pulled pork… This is so going to be tried
