One of our favorite meals to make is pulled pork in the slow cooker. It’s so easy to throw all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and come back 12 hours later to tender and juicy pulled pork. I definitely recommend a bone-in Boston butt to help maintain the juiciness of the pork. Also, the combination of the sea salt and bacon create a delicious smoky flavor without having to buy an expensive smoker. I like to play around with the flavor combinations, but our favorite is adding the citrus juices. We usually end up making this three or four times a month…definitely a house favorite!
