Check it, though, after 8 to see if it’s falling apart.

Thanks!

I haven’t searched out Mexican grocery stores to find all the right chiles, and couldn’t find dried chipotles, so I just used the canned version, which turned out a bit hot for our taste. But I’ve been adjusting the recipe and find it works just as well with other chiles and it’s a good way to get flavor without too much hotness. And in the slow cooker, the pork does, indeed, just fall apart — usually as I’m trying to get it out of the pot so I can puree and reduce the liquid! Not so easy to slice and arrange on a platter, but it doesn’t matter at that point — we’re so hungry we just plop a slug of meat on the plate, add a bit of sauce and side dishes and dig in!!
