This fork-tender pulled pork tastes fabulous on a bun, in a wrap or tortilla. My kids like to eat it spooned over rice in its citrus-flavored juices.-Mindy Oswalt, Winnetka, California

This recipe was easy to follow and the pork turned out perfect. I used a slow cooker, and the pork cooked on low for 8 hours. It was fall-apart tender and so flavorful.

I'm not usually a fan of pulled pork, but this recipe changed my mind. The mojito marinade made the pork so flavorful and moist. I served it with rice and beans, and it was a delicious meal.
