Homemade sauce can be healthier and cheaper.

Prepare the coleslaw by choosing your cabbage; you can shred your own or use pre-shredded cabbage.

Chop the tri-colored cabbage into smaller pieces to avoid lengthy shreds in the sandwich.

Mix the chopped cabbage with coleslaw sauce, using a combination of apple cider vinegar and regular vinegar based sauces.

Let the coleslaw marinate in the sauce while you prepare the pulled pork.

Take the cooked pork shoulder out of the oven and let it cool slightly before shredding.

Using two forks, pull the pork apart into smaller pieces, ensuring there are no large chunks left.

If desired, use a mixer with a mixing blade to shred the pork more quickly.

Add your favorite barbecue sauce to the shredded pork, mixing well to combine.

Serve the pulled pork on buns, topped with the prepared coleslaw.
