- Remove from slow cooker and shred with two forks, removing as much fat as possible.
- Empty the juice and grease from the slow cooker, reserving a cup or two of the liquid (not the grease)
- Mix the BBQ sauce ingredients together.
- Put the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, add 1 cup of the cooking liquid and the BBQ sauce. Mix well and if needed, add more of the cooking liquid.

Notes
- My family prefers their pulled pork extra “saucy”, so I double the sauce recipe. Or, you can just squirt on a little bottled BBQ sauce.
