Pulled Barbecue Pork

Ingredients:
•    Pork Roast (approximately 5 pounds)
•    1 tablespoon salt
•    1 teaspoon black pepper
•    1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
•    2 tablespoons brown sugar
•    1 tablespoon hot sauce
•    1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions
1.    Put roast in slow cooker and sprinkle salt and pepper over. Pour cider vinegar over. Cover with lid and cook on low for twelve hours (I cook it overnight). Remove pork roast and shred with forks (this will be very easy). Drain juices from slow cooker, reserving two cups of liquid. Return pork to slow cooker. To the reserved liquid add: Brown sugar, hot sauce, and crushed pepper flakes. Stir well. Pour over shredded pork and place lid back on. Place on low or warm setting until ready to serve. Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, reheating in the microwave.

I estimate this to make enough for about eight sandwiches, give or take.

This recipe makes it’s own sauce…and is not too spicy…add your own to give it a kick if you like.

I have a great recipe for homemade barbecue sauce that I will share very soon. It’s fun to make and put up in mason jars and give as housewarming gifts.

Enjoy!!  –Dale
