The pulled pork can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as rice, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.

    I found it a bit too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the honey and brown sugar slightly. It was perfect!

  • Rowena Gleason

    Easy to follow and the pork was incredibly tender. I added a bit of ginger powder for an extra kick.

  • Brain Raynor

    I was a bit skeptical about the cinnamon and cloves, but they really add something special. I'll definitely be making this again.
