    This is amazing recipe that’s very versatile. You can use it for pulled pork sandwiches ,burritos, salads or pretty much anything. This is going to become your favorites sweet pulled pork recipe. 

    This is a nice pulled pork sandwich some of the sweet pulled pork on a bun with bbq sauce

    The reason that you’re gonna love pulled pork

    Pulled pork is a really simple recipe and does not take long to prep

    Start making in morning and ready by the time you’re ready to eat 

    Makes plenty for you or your family. We have plenty of leftovers as well. To be able to have a few different t ways 

    Has amazing flavor. You can also add other things to it bbq sauce or enchiladasauce depending on what kind of thing you’re trying to use it with.

    Uses mostly simple ingredients that you most likely already have in your kitchen

    Pork is siting in slow cooker Coke and brown suger have been added and have started to bubble around it

    Ingredients that you need

    Pork- we like to use a pork roast for this as cooking it in the slow cooker make it so tender. And typically they come in the right size pretty much any pork roast will work

    Coke- to use normal Coke or  off-brand Coke tried using both and they both seem to be the same Coke might be a little bit stronger flavor it. But with which ever on you go with this recipe you should not sure die not sure why but it just don’t work. I’m guessing it has some thing to do with the sugar. The coke also helps tenderize the meat

    Brown sugar and brown sugar to help with the sweetness

    Seasoning for this we use multiple different things to help season combinations of salt, garlic powder, and onion powder out of amazing flavor. That’s not too overwhelming for me. That’s all the flavors.

    Seasoning have been added to the pork and you can see them on the out side of the meat

    How to make sweet pulled pork

    Marinade— say this is optional  only because of how  long if you’re gonna do it. If your going to cook  on high and cook it faster I’d recommend that marinade for at least two hours or overnight though this is a combination of Coke and sugar

    Seasoning - after marinating I like to pull out of the marinade and put the seasoning, put it in the slow cooker, adding back in marinating juices, however some people like to switch out the marinade for a new batch. I think that can add some extra flavor but to me th difference I don’t think it is work it but I will leave that up to you. 

    Cooking -we put it on low for seven hours then you want to shred and mix the juices then cook for another hour. Make sure that the juices combine. Also taste to see if needs additnal seasoning. 

    Pork has been cooking for about 7 hour and is ready to be shredded. It has change colors a little bit

    Recipes that you can use this sweet pork 

    Home made pulled pork sandwiches with it. You’ll just need buns for the pork for this one. We like to leave all the juices in the marinade fill a bit longer than making your sandwich. A little bit of barbecue sauce to  taste. 

    Recipe to do this with This made burritos out of it. You can either use the meat or we sometimes dump off the juice and add some enchilada  sauce and peppers to it lettuce rice burrito to make some thing like a  Cafe Rio sweet burrito

    You can also just use it for a topper for tostada or salads

    You could also added this to are copycate crunch wrap recipe that we make to change it up as well

    Pulled pork has been shredded and is ready to took for another hour pork has a light color there are a few large chunks

    Variations that you can make

     If you’re just going to be using this for pulled pork sandwiches you can just go ahead and add more barbecue sauce to it so it typically hard or dark color

    Make it spicy by adding jalapeños and peppers to it be used with the other recipes spicy

    Can us  Dr Pepper for thisrecipe It does have a little bit of a different flavor but still is  good. Think in some ways it may just depend on which you like more. It still  breaking down pork  and still has a flavor to it.

    For storing your pulled pork

    For both either of these you will want to put them in an air tight container. This will keep the fridge good for about 6 days and if you freeze make sure it is a freeze safe container want to not that get freeze burn. It will keep for about 3 months

    Now the pork has cooked some more it has a darker color and as sertled. Some so now you can see some of the juices
