I tried this mix to save time making pulled pork in the slow cooker. You have to add sugar, ketchup, and vinegar to the mix but it's as simple as that. It cooked very nicely although I added a little water at the end to make more sauce but that may have been because it cooked so long. The taste was good although a bit salty for my taste. It has a bit of a spicy kick but it's definitely mild (my toddler gobbled it all up so it's not that spicy!) I'd purchase it again if I were in a pinch but with all the added sugar and salt, I'll probably make my own from now on.
