    Method

    For the Pulled Pork

    1. Combine all dry seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork, ensuring all sides are coated.
    2. Cover and refrigerate for 1–12 hours to allow the flavours to develop.
    3. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
    4. Place the pork in a covered roasting pan and bake for approximately 4–5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
    5. Remove from the oven and allow the pork to cool until it is safe to handle. Shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
    6. Toss the shredded pork with the prepared Hot Honey Mustard BBQ Sauce until evenly coated.
    7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Pulled pork also freezes well for future meals.

    Hot Honey Mustard BBQ Sauce

    1. Combine all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and whisk until well incorporated.
    2. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
    3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
    4. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before mixing with the pulled pork.
    5. Store any unused sauce in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

    Hot Honey Slaw

    1. Add the cabbage, carrot, and onion to a large mixing bowl.
    2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until smooth and fully combined.
    3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated.
    4. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The slaw can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    To Serve

    1. Pile the warm pulled pork onto your favourite toasted buns.
    2. Top generously with Hot Honey Slaw.
    3. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of smoky, sweet, tangy, and spicy flavours.
