Slow Cooker Pulled Pork (Oven method included)
You have asked me for many recipes since I started my website and Facebook Page, this is the one you have requested more than any other so here it finally is.
I have fine tuned my recipe so it is very easy for you to make at home using your slow cooker or oven.
If you don’t have a slow cooker then may I suggest you buy one as you will save yourself a lot of time and money on electricity as slow cooking on a hob or in the oven uses a lot more power.

Hi, the butcher recommended pork neck to me for the recipe, can I still follow this method?
Yes you can, the times should be the same.
Doubled the recipe as I used a 3kg ham. Gorgeous! Loads left over to make into more fab meals! The sauce is divine!
