Step 1
Start by placing the pork in your slow cooker. Sprinkle in the molasses, chili powder, salt, paprika, cumin seeds, and ground coriander. Pour in enough water to just cover the meat. Set the slow cooker to High and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours until the pork is tender. Once it’s done, drain off the cooking liquid and use two forks to shred the pork right in the slow cooker. Stir in your favorite barbeque sauce, turn the heat down to Low, and let it cook for another hour so the flavors really soak in.
Why you’ll love it

How to serve
Serve the pulled pork on soft sandwich buns with coleslaw for a classic meal. It also works great over rice, in tacos, or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a lighter option.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover pulled pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently on the stove or in the microwave.
