  • Once brined remove the pork, and dry it off with some kitchen paper. Rub the remainder of the spice rub well into the meat.
  • Place the meat in your slow cooker or crockpot and cook on low for about 12 – 14 hours. If you want the pork for dinner start cooking it first thing, for lunch I cook it overnight.
