Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have time to let the pork marinate in the refrigerator, you can just rub the mixture on and cook it immediately. However, the flavor will be better if you marinate it for at least a few hours.
• To make sure the pork is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165°F (74°C).
• This pulled pork is also great for freezing. Just shred the pork and freeze it in airtight containers. When you're ready to serve, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat it in the oven or microwave.
