Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

I love pulled pork. It's one of my favorites. But I've never made it. Honestly it sort of intimidated me. But, I gave it a whirl and I'm so glad I did! I found the original recipe at A Year of Slow Cooking. I like this blog, but I've found the recipes can be sort of hit or miss, so I read the recipes carefully to see if they're up to snuff. This one was a winner and so easy. I served it on whole wheat sandwich buns with sides of sweet potato fries and steamed green beans. Delicious!

Ingredients

3 pound pork shoulder

1 sweet onion, sliced

2 cups ketchup

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Trim fat off of pork shoulder and place in crock pot. Top with sliced onion (I sliced mine about a 1/4 in thick). Whisk remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and then pour over pork. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove pork and pour liquid into a sauce pan and reduce until thickened (about 5 minutes), then pour back over the pork and shred with two forks. Serve on sandwich buns and enjoy!
