Directions
- * Note: Start with 2 tsp. of pureed chipotles and add in more after you've tasted the sauce as it's reheating; once it's too warm, its heat is impossible to diminish.

- Add in garlic, onion, celery, chile pwdr, cumin and sugar to casserole. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, till heated through, about 4 min; don't burn.
- Add in broth, chipotles and chili sauce. Stir well. Add in pork; bring to boil. Cover and cook in 275 degree oven for 4 hrs, turning halfway through cooking.
- Transfer pork to cutting board. Trim any remaining fat. Cut pork in half crosswise; use your fingers or possibly 2 forks to pull pork apart, discarding bones.
- Skim any fat from sauce; heat to boiling on stove. Taste and adjust seasonings and chipotle. Add in pulled pork. (Can be used immediately or possibly refrigerated for 1 day or possibly frzn.) Cook over medium-low heat, covered, till warm, about 15 to 20 min.
- Use tongs to mound pork on hot buns; pass pan sauces and warm sauce separately. Serve hot.
- This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
