Cooking The Pork

  • Pour the sauce over the pork.
  • Put the lid on and let the meat cook for around 2.5 hours. Check the meat and move it around in the sauce for a bit.
  • Put the lid back on and let it cook for a further 2.5 hours.
  • Once the pork is cooked, remove the bones.
  • With two forks, shred the pork, mix the meat with the sauce, and serve immediately. Otherwise, switch the setting to low and leave the meat in the slow cooker until you are ready to serve it.
  • Enjoy!!!
