This recipe is no exception. It draws inspiration from traditional Southern barbecue, but with a few modern twists. The bone broth adds a richness and depth of flavor that is unmatched by water, and the apple cider vinegar provides a tangy balance to the sweetness of the coconut aminos. The result is a pulled pork that is both authentic and innovative.
