For an even deeper flavor, sear the pork shoulder on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This adds a delicious caramelized crust. Don't discard the cooking liquid after shredding the pork! Strain it and use it as a flavorful base for soups or stews. If you prefer a sweeter pulled pork, add a tablespoon or two of brown sugar to the spice mixture. Serve the pulled pork on toasted buns with coleslaw and your favorite barbeque toppings for a classic and satisfying meal.
