Steps:
- Up to two days before (and at least 2 hrs ahead), mix together 75g ketchup with 2 tbsp chipotle, 2 tbsp honey and the vinegar. Rub all over the pork and leave in a food bag (or bowl) in the fridge to marinate, turning occasionally.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Lift the pork into a snug-fitting roasting tin and baste with any excess marinade, plus 100ml water. Cover with foil, ensuring the pork is sealed in but the foil isn't touching it, and bake for 4 hrs.
- Turn up the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (or cool and chill the pork, if making ahead). Remove the foil and put the pork back in for 30 mins until crisp and sticky on the outside.
- Lift the pork from the tin and use two forks to shred the meat. Mix together the extra 1 tbsp ketchup with the remaining chipotle and honey, and stir it through the shredded meat with some seasoning before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: pork shoulder or pork butt are the best cuts for pulled pork because they have a lot of marbling and connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and juicy.
- Don't overcook the pork: pork shoulder or pork butt can withstand long cooking times, but if you cook it for too long, it will become dry and tough. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a good quality barbecue sauce: the barbecue sauce is what gives pulled pork its flavor, so it's important to use a sauce that you like. There are many different types of barbecue sauce available, so you can find one that suits your taste.
- Let the pulled pork rest before serving: after you've cooked the pulled pork, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served on a bun, in a tortilla, or on top of a salad. It can also be used as a filling for tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. No matter how you choose to serve it, pulled pork is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
