Slow Cooker Apricot Pulled Pork is a unique twist on a classic. A brown sugar spice rub combined with sweet apricot preserves gives this recipe a salty-sweet combo. The addition of ground cumin brings out a nice smoky flavor that enhances the apricot preserves. Be sure to have extra buns on hand. You'll need them when everyone comes back for seconds.
