Other variations
Although Pulled Pork with Apricot Preserves Sandwiches are delicious on their own, adding it to a bun or roll helps to savor the liquid. If Apricot isn’t a flavor you like, you can use this same recipe using another flavored preserve. Pineapple will add a tropical taste to the dish. Mango also compliments the flavor of the pork well. These flavors would work great together for an outdoor barbeque.
