• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer the sauce in a saucepan on the stovetop until it reduces and thickens.
• Leftover pulled pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
• To reheat the pulled pork, place it in a microwave-safe dish and heat it in the microwave until warmed through.
• You can also freeze the pulled pork in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
