Farm Girl Tips

Cooking to 200°F ensures tender, shreddable pork.

Shred on a cookie sheet for easier handling and to manage any juice overflow (you can add juices back to the crockpot.)

Stir in additional BBQ sauce after shredding for a saucier pulled pork.

Freeze cooled pulled pork up to 3 months.
