In collaboration with Food Lover’s Market

A while ago, I treated myself to a slow cooker and it has rapidly become one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I’ve always been a fan of my pressure cooker, but honestly, while the pressure cooker is fantastic for quick, weekday meals, there is something just so super rich and decadent about everything that comes out of the slow cooker.

I’ve started getting more adventurous about what I make in my slow cooker!

Now I’m a huge fan of pork. The meat is high in fat and so very delicious and really, there’s little that beats a delicious bit of tasty crackling! And I’ve been desperate to cook a pulled pork in the slow cooker, but so many of the recipes are laden with sugar so I’ve struggled to find the perfect one!

Then this weekend….. dum…. dum…. dum… DUM!

I hit the jackpot and found the perfect recipe, which I’m going to share here with you today.
