Cooking Pork is actually harder than you think. Especially if you are barbecuing it, the pork could come out dry and blah. But what if you make pulled pork by bathing the pork in homemade barbecue sauce and letting it soak in all of that sweet and tangy deliciousness?? And then topped with fresh slaw – what is a better combination than that??
I don’t know any, do you?? Oh I know, what about a nice surprise in the fresh slaw…..PINEAPPLE!
