Tips
- Pork shoulder = best for shredding
- Pork loin = leaner, sliceable (don’t overcook)
- Add apples or a splash of apple cider vinegar for sweetness.
- Thicken juices with cornstarch for an easy gravy.
If you want, I can also give you:
- a garlic herb pork roast
- a BBQ pulled pork version
- or a low-carb, no-potato option
