Slow Cooker Cherry Cola Pulled Pork
Description
Slow Cooker Cherry Cola Pulled Pork begins with a 4-5 pound pork shoulder rubbed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and liquid smoke to build a deep seasoning base. Placing the pork in a slow cooker with cherry cola allows the meat to braise gently over eight hours on low heat, resulting in tender, shreddable meat. The cherry cola adds sweetness and a hint of caramelized fruit flavor to the pork. Once the pork is shredded, stirring in barbecue sauce adds moisture and a tangy, savory finish. This pulled pork can be served over rice or piled onto a burger bun with extra barbecue sauce, making it a hearty, satisfying meal option.
