Another variation on my favourite way to cook pork, this time using [[Bramblebee Farms]] Old Spot [[pork]]. Not wanting to compromise on the pulled pork I'm not making any attempt to use the rind as crackling.

This really is best if it can [[Marinate|marinate]] for 8 hours before the cooking. Just make sure that you plan this one well ahead.

The trick to this recipe is cooking it on a low heat for 8 hours and making sure it does not dry out.

| From the gravy, discard the lemon, most of the onion slices and any wood herbs. Use a potato masher to mash the apple and any remaining onion.
| Pop the pork back into the gravy and shred more finely with a pair of forks
| Cover and return to the oven for the final hour, then serve with as much gravy as you need

===Serving suggestions===
This works equally well as a hot meal with [[Roast potatoes|roast potatoes]] and [[Vegetables|vegetables]] as it does warm, with a [[Salad|salad]] and [[Pitta breads|pitta breads]].

Cover any leftovers with the [[Gravy|gravy]] and [[Refrigerate|refrigerate]] once cooled. This keeps it moist. Serve with a [[Salad|salad]] and [[Pitta breads|pitta breads]] the following day after skimming any excess [[Fat|fat]] and mixing well.
