Kombucha-Glazed Pulled Pork

This pulled pork is cooked in a delightful kombucha-based glaze, which gives it a unique and tangy flavor. The pork is first browned in a Dutch oven, then braised in the oven until it is tender and falls apart. Serve the pulled pork on its own or with your favorite sides.

Pulled pork is a classic barbecue dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is typically made with a pork shoulder, which is a relatively inexpensive cut of meat. The pork shoulder is cooked slowly over low heat, which allows the meat to become tender and flavorful. Pulled pork can be served on its own or with a variety of sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad.
