I make mine by cooking a joint of gammon or pork (fat removed) in diet coke slowly until its tender a couple of hrs in my oven ... Then I remove from diet coke and shread

Sometimes I make a sticky tomatoey tangy sauce from passata and balsamic for it or just mix with a syns worth of BBQ sauce or sweet chilli

I will post the recipe from SW below, I made this at Christmas and it was amazing to pick at. yum!

Just remove any visibile fat using a good sharp knife

There is another recipe using a pork tenderloin instead. I can recomend this in the slow cooker. I had the recipe off this site. Hth

I use my slow cooker:

Shoulder join of pork, beef stock, bbq sauce, chopped garlic and a small dash of cayenne pepper. Just dump it all in the night before, stick it on when leaving for work in the morning (on low all day). After work, use two forks to pull the joint apart into shred and have it with a lovely salad in the evening!

If you use this then BBQ sauce free

I made this tonight, it was delicious,the whole family agreed! Thanks

This is in the oven as I type, I can't wait. Trying to remove the fat was a nightmare. I managed to get the top layer of and have spent ages trying to remove the rest. I don't know whether its fat or sinu. Think I might have to add a couple of syns just in case!
