BOURBON MANGO PULLED PORK FOR THE SLOW COOKER
This is delicious served on a nice sandwich roll. It's sweet, spicy and smoky all the same time. This was extremely popular when made for a Potluck dinner. Everyone wanted the recipe which I received from the butcher at my local grocery store. Enjoy! *Please note that canned chipotles can be used rather than the powder. Use carefully as these peppers are known to be extremely spicy.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt are the best cuts for pulled pork because they have a good amount of fat that will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
- Use a good quality bourbon: The bourbon in this recipe adds a delicious smoky flavor to the pulled pork. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking, as the flavor will come through in the finished dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to add or adjust them to your liking. Some other spices that go well with pulled pork include chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
- Cook the pulled pork low and slow: The key to tender, juicy pulled pork is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the meat to break down and become fall-apart tender.
- Let the pulled pork rest before serving: Once the pulled pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.

This bourbon mango pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
