I made this yesterday but with a couple of changes. The first was I wanted to cook it in the slow cooker. The second was because I didn't have any white wine vinegar so used a combination of Balsamic and regular malt vinegar. It went down very well in our house, but the reason for four rather than five is because as gorgeous as it was it needs a little pepping up. We can't get pulled pork in the UK but we have it when we come out to the US and what I made just didn't quite hit the nail in the head. I think next time I may try the Jack Daniels and Coke version. I have made Ham in Coke several times and is always well received. Still worthy of 4 stars though.
