My husband doesn't like BBQ sauce, but we had a pork roast.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Sit the pork on a sheet of foil in a roasting tin. Mix the butter, sugar and mustard with 2 tsp salt, rub all over the top and ends of the joint (or joints), then scrunch up the foil to seal tightly in a parcel.
- Mix the onions and apples in a large, shallow roasting tin. Scatter the peppers over the top and poke in some bay leaves. Mix the vinegar, oil, mustard and sugar with 100ml water and drizzle over everything. Roast the pork for 3½ hrs while you cook the peppers on the shelf below for the first 2 hrs. When you remove the apples and peppers after 2 hrs, set aside and put the Salt-baked potatoes (see 'Goes well with', right) into the oven underneath the pork instead.
- After 3 hrs, unwrap the foil from the pork. Scrape any mustard mixture stuck to the foil back onto the pork, sit it and any juices back in the tin and increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roast for 30-45 mins more until the skin is brown and crisping. Remove the pork from the oven, cover and rest for 20 mins while you put the peppers back on the top shelf for 20 mins to finish. Serve the pork thickly sliced alongside the apples and peppers, with any tin juices poured over.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for slow cooking. It's a tough cut of meat, but the long, slow cooking process breaks down the connective tissue and makes it fall-apart tender.
- Brown the pork before slow cooking: Browning the pork before slow cooking adds flavor and helps to keep the meat moist. You can brown the pork in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes per side, or you can use the "sear" function on your slow cooker.
- Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to slow cook the pork will add a lot of flavor to the dish. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, apple cider, or even water. If you're using water, be sure to add some herbs and spices to the pot for extra flavor.
- Add vegetables and fruits: Vegetables and fruits add flavor, texture, and nutrients to slow-cooked pork. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, apples, and pears.
- Cook the pork on low for 8-10 hours: The key to tender, fall-apart pork is to cook it on low for a long period of time. 8-10 hours is ideal, but you can also cook it for up to 12 hours if you have the time.
- Shred the pork before serving: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. You can then serve the pork on its own, or use it in tacos, burritos, sandwiches, or salads.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooked pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great option for busy weeknights, as it can be prepared in the morning and cooked all day while you're at work or school. With a little planning, you can easily create a flavorful and satisfying slow-cooked pork dish that your family and friends will love.
