I’m not a huge slow cooker user. But I love using it for these. They are a staple in our house now and will be on the menu for our backyard Keels Cafe 2014. And the good news is you can make this ahead and refrigerate the pulled
pork for up to 4 days. Try it with Megan’s Chayote Slaw or this Creamy Cabbage Slaw.
