Tips and Serving Suggestions

This recipe works well in the slow cooker too. Put the joint and remaining ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover and cook for 4-6 hours on HIGH or 8-10 hours on LOW, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your slow cooker, then use as required.  

If BBQ enthusiasts want a smokier flavour, follow cooking method 1-3.  During the last 30 minutes of the cooking time, pop the foil-wrapped pork onto the rack of a prepared BBQ.  Remove the joint and pull the meat apart with two forks, stir through the remaining rub mix and serve.
