*Nutritional facts provided is only an estimate. Accuracy for nutritional information on recipes on this site is not guaranteed.
Keep the bone in while cooking, you won’t need to add any additional cooking time as the roast is cut into smaller pieces.
Reserve some of the cooked broth to pour on the pulled pork, this adds all the delicious flavors and some additional fat.
