Now, one other quick note….

While the shredded pork is warming in the sauce, use the extra 15 minutes to toast the buns.  Just spread the buns with a little butter and heat them on a griddle or large skillet until they are golden brown.

Pulled pork has an interesting history. In the South, BBQ is synonymous with pork.  It is also usually smoked pork that is cooked until you can pull it apart with your hands.  However, BBQ’s are more than food.  They are frequently events where everyone gathers to enjoy great food.
