Ingredients

Pork– a pork shoulder is best to get the right consistency, you can also use a pork loin roast

Broth– I use chicken stock, it’s purpose is added flavor so you can choose to use water instead of broth but you will lose some flavor 

BBQ sauce– I love sweet baby rays BBQ sauce, but you can use any BBQ sauce for this recipe
