How To Make A Texas Pulled Pork Recipe!

Hello, I’m Ella, a King Charles Cavalier and the family’s 4-legged best friend. I am also the last member of our loving blended family.

Learning how to cook at a young age helps in so many ways. Not only is it a great activity to spend some quality time with your children, but it allows them to explore new foods, learn new skills and teaches them about responsibility too. Chef Nicholas, the youngest of the 4 boys, loves Pulled Pork. Here is an easy recipes he made for the entire family : Texas Pulled Pork Recipe.

The Instant Pot was very useful to create this recipe. You could also use a slow-cooker or the oven and modify the recipe accordingly. Nicholas would love to visit Texas because it is known as the Capital of Cowboy in the world. Beside Westerns experiences, there is plenty of things to explore such as music, beaches and road trips with magnificent sceneries.

The apple cider vinegar is a very important ingredient to make this authentic Texas Pulled Pork recipe. The BBQ sauce is more thinner and less sweet compare to the popular BBQ sauce we use now in days.
