Note

For best results, ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 195ðF (90ðC) for optimal shredding texture.

If using a slow cooker, brown the pork first, then cook on low for 6-8 hours before adding the sauce.

Leftover pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or extra sauce to prevent drying out.

Feel free to adjust the spice level of the rustic rub according to your preference.
