This was delicious! A nice change from bbq. Since I’m cooking for just me, I used a couple of boneless country style ribs and cooked in a 300 degree oven with all of the ingredients called for. It took about 2 1/2 hours. I did use chicken stock rather than apple juice (didn’t have on hand). I made with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. I could have eaten the gravy alone with a spoon. It’s a keeper!
This was my first attempt at a pulled pork meal. It was a winner! The gravy… not so much. But I think I did something wrong. So, I’m not going to judge it.
UPDATE: attempted the gravy again. And it was delicious. Everyone loved it. So, yeah, first time I messed up somewhere. This time, was a winner and so easy.

This is so delicious! The meat has a great flavor and the gravy is so good! Will definitely make again.
Simple and delicious recipe!
It was delicious. I didn’t have apple juice so I used vegetable broth. Pork was very tender and flavorful. Gravy was delicious. I made garlic mashed potatoes to go with it. My grandsons loved it. I will definitely make this again.
Delicious! 8lb pork butt, followed the recipe, increased the seasoning accordingly and it turned out perfect! Served with the gravy and mashed potatoes.
So tender and juicy! And easy!! I would maybe use a little less salt next time but gave me an excuse to eat more hawaiian rolls. I did check on it a couple times to mix it around in the slow cooker, and it was super tender after 7 hours so didn’t need the full 8 in the recipe. Would definitely make again.
Omg, this maybe the best pulled pork I have ever made and I have made alot. Thank you Trisha !!!!
I saw Trisha make this on her show this morning and just had to make it! It was incredible!!! My Boston Butt was 5 lb, but it still worked. I cooked on “high” as didn’t have 10 hrs to cook on “low” in my crockpot. I worried it wouldn’t be as tender being I cooked it faster, but it was falling off the bone and so easy to pull apart w/forks! The only thing I did different, & realize it’s an extra step, but I always brown my roasts on each side first in some hot oil in the pan before roasting in the oven or crockpot. It gives it so much more flavor too! I used what oil was left from browning it to make the gravy Trisha made w/the drippings from the cooked meat in the crockpot. Be sure & drain any fat before using the juice to make the gravy. I will definitely make again! Hubby loved it too!!!
Absolutely delicious. Will definitely make again!
