Notes

  • Be careful not to add too much liquid back to the shredded pork or it will get soggy.
  • Use a bone-in or boneless pork shoulder, pork butt or Boston Butt.
  • Remove bones prior to shredding if using bone-in.
  • If using a larger piece of pork (4-5), cut it in half before adding it to the slow cooker and double the seasoning ingredients. 
  • Remove all bones prior to shredding if using bone-in meat.
  • If pork doesn’t shred easily, return to slow cooker and cook for additional time.
  • Store in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 2 months
