For my 6th Birthday party I made this. It was raved about and was the first thing to go, Before the jambalya. It went great with the Dirty rice and salads also. I will make this again. I would double the sauce part of the recipe for 3 lbs or more of pork so it is juicy. Great recipe and easy. Thanks Denise

Since I had never made pulled pork I followed the recipe exactly. The pork was fantastic - very juicy and tender and delicious without the sauce (I had to try a piece while shredding it). We found the root beer sauce to be too sweet even for my 4 and 7 year old. Next time I make a pulled pork I'll try a BBQ sauce recipe instead.
