For an extra layer of flavor, consider searing the pork shoulder on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and enhance the overall richness of the dish. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter pulled pork, add more; for a tangier flavor, reduce the amount. Serve the pulled pork on toasted brioche buns with your favorite coleslaw and pickles for a classic Southern experience. Leftover pulled pork can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
