Notes

If you prefer a spicier pulled pork, you can add more chipotle peppers or use hotter peppers. You can also add more honey or apple cider vinegar to adjust the flavors to your taste.

If you are not using a slow cooker, you can cook the pork in a Dutch oven or a large pot over low heat. Cook for 2-3 hours or until the pork is tender and shreds easily.
