Method
- To make the sauce:
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.- Spread the sauce thickly over the pork and put it in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave it to marinate in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight.
- Put the pork and sauce into a slow cooker and place on the low heat setting for 8-10 hours, without opening the lid, or until the pork is very tender. Or, cook in a covered dish in the oven at 140°C/275°F/Gas Mark 1 for about 6-8 hours, or until the meat is tender, basting it occasionally with the sauce.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker or oven and leave it to rest for about 10 mins.
- Pour the liquid into a small pan and skim off any fat. Boil to reduce and thicken slightly.
- Place
the pork on a board and cut off the skin and any visible fat. Use 2
forks to shred the meat into small pieces and stir into the sauce. Serve
the pulled pork hot in baps,
along with coleslaw and chips
