    Have made this many times even while camping in the camp oven. Recommend everyone try this recipe, it’s easy and very tasty. A winner with the whole family.

  2. This recipe was a hit with the whole family and so easy to do!
    Easily one of my favorite slow cooker dishes.

  3. Yum. I was dubious. But I did it with Rolled pork shoulder (no bone).

    I cut the crackling off at the end and tried to cackle it, but understandably it didn’t really crackle but it taste yummo anyway

    We served on rolls with coleslaw, corn and potatoes as sides.

    Will happily make again!

  4. Would it be ok to leave it cooking for 10-11 hours on low? And what can u serve with it?

      I think you could probably extend the time out that long
      Especially if it’s a larger roast piece 🙂

      Serve pulled pork with mash and veg, or with coleslaw on breadroll sliders, or in wraps with salads are just a few options

  5. I’m very new to slow cooking and this was only my third attempt at it. I cooked this today but it turned out really dry. I’d like to know where I went wrong
    2.2kg pork leg on low for 9 hours (I read somewhere that pork takes 8-10 hours)
    Thank you

      Hi Maria

      Was it a very lean piece? That can give a dry result sometimes?
      Time wise if it was easy to pull apart it was cooked long enough 🙂

    This was delicious.

    The recipe didn’t indicate a size for the roast, so I went with a 1.6kg piece. Completely the correct choice. It cooked perfectly for 7 hours.

    I didn’t have quite enough honey, so I added some molasses. That was a full flavour taste!

    Served with chips and pasta salad.

    Aspie kids enjoyed it (they have taste and food texture issues and this meal ticked their boxes).

    So, we’re having this again, but I might cut the rind off prior to cooking and make it into crackling next time.

    Thanks for the recipe!

  7. This is literally my favourite flavour ever ! But when I cooked it last I used a 2.1kg piece and after 8 hours it was so so hard to pull apart! Just wondering if this might mean it needed longer cooking or less ? I left the string on for that time maybe I should of cut it off first ?

      A: If it’s not pull apart like it normally is other times it needs more time 🙂
      A: I take my string off at the start as it’s so much easier than the end when it’s hot 🙂

  8. I made this using a smokey hickory bbq sauce and it was delicious! I cooked it on low for around 9hrs and it flaked beautifully.

    Wow! This was so good!
    I cooked a 2.2kg boneless pork shoulder roast for 8 hours on low – the meat flaked apart so easily & flavour was on point ??
    I wouldn’t change anything and will definitely be making it again ?
    I served on mini rolls with coleslaw, however so many other options to try, such as:
    -On baked potatoes with sour cream
    -On nachos or fries
    -On mashed potatoes
    -With rice & veg

    Absolutely perfect pulled pork recipe right here!! I used sweet baby rays sweet & spicy bbq sauce, onion flakes instead of diced onion and added some cracked black pepper and a squeeze of maple syrup to the marinade. So delicious served on Vietnamese rolls with coleslaw and potato gems as a side ?? We love this recipe Jessie, so easy and so, so yummy!!!

  11. Do you think i could add whole potatoes with it then once the pork is done, so after 7 hours, take them out and smash them-for the pork to go ontop off?

  12. Hi I’ve got a 3kg boneless pork shoulder,do I trim the fat off, how long will it need and how big of bottle of sauce will be enough?
    Sorry for so many questions.
    Thankyou!

      I tend to leave the fat on (fat side down) during cooking then remove prior to shredding for max flavour. But you can remove it at start too if you prefer 🙂 I’d go two bottles for one that big for max flavour 🙂

    Delicious!!
    Hubby and kids loved it – and it was so easy!
    I am definitely doing this again!! Thanks

  14. How long would I cook this for on high for? As I don’t have time to cook on low for 7 hours

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central January 29, 2024

      Depends on the weight of your pork but around 5-6hrs would do it 🙂

  15. 5 stars
    Easy and tasty.
    We remove the fat to make crackle.
    Serve with brioche buns, sliced apple, make a coleslaw from supermarket kit plus other salad ingredients..

    I didn’t have any honey (as I dropped it on the floor) so swopped it out with maple syrup .The whole family loved it and was very easy to make. (cleaning up the honey ,not so much).
    We had it on crusty rolls and apple slaw, will be making it again. But next time, I won’t try carrying honey with wet hands, while the cat is doing zoomies around the house.
