I've tried this recipe a few times now, and it's always a hit. The pulled pork is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. I love serving it on buns with coleslaw and pickles.

This pulled pork was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I will definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

This pulled pork was just okay. It was a little dry, and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.
