For an even deeper flavor, sear the pork roast on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This adds a rich, caramelized crust.
If you prefer a spicier pulled pork, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the spice rub.
The pulled pork can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan or microwave before serving.
Experiment with different types of vinegar, such as balsamic or red wine vinegar, for a unique twist on the sauce.
Don't discard the remaining cooking liquid! It can be used as a base for soups or stews, adding a smoky and savory depth of flavor.
