Recently, we attended an art festival with various food tents lining the streets. The one tent that captured my attention was the Pulled Pork Sundae booth. I thought to myself, what a great idea, especially for a tailgate. Here is what a Pulled Pork Sundae is – a large 16 oz. cup, layered in this order – baked beans on the bottom, topped with coleslaw, topped with pulled pork and drizzled with barbecue sauce. You certainly could also add a layer of crumbled cornbread or a piece of cornbread on top. It was such a great idea, one cup and one fork is all you need to serve each sundae. It is fun to eat and perfect for those occasions where simplicity is key. I created my Pork Sundae using my Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Apple Cider. Easy to make ahead and then shred. Reheat when ready to serve.

Place the pork (fat side up) in your slow cooker, add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low to 8 hours. Remove pork from the slow cooker, discard the fat layer, shred the meat and return to the sauce. Serve warm or cool and chill - reheat prior to serving.
This is a great idea for tailgating! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
