Slow Cooked Pulled Pork

OK, the pulled pork came out really good, so here's the recipe:

3 lbs of pork shoulder
1 can (14 oz) of diced tomatoes
1 cup vinegar
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Heaping Tbsp red pepper flake
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp salt

Add ingredients to slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

In my instance, I used a leaner cut of pork, so I ended up cooking it for around 17 hours. I then shredded it and put in in the fridge for the day. That evening, I took out what I was going to use on a sandwich and added some BBQ sauce to it and put it in a 375° oven for around 10 minutes until it was warm. I served it up with coleslaw and fries.

Happy Holidays!

So the holiday season is upon us now, and while the rest of the United States is gearing up to buy and buy some more, my wife and I are looking to reduce the amount of clutter we have in our lives. In a way it feels good to purge and get rid of that stuff that I haven't even looked at in five years. Hopefully no one will buy us stuff to take it's place!

Last night I made my first attempt at a slow cooked pulled pork. I recently purchased a new slow cooker (the new ones are great - very easy cleaning). The plan was to have sandwiches last night, but because we did not get back from Chicago until late, I did not get it started in time to have it for dinner that night. I also used a leaner cut of pork (the butcher was out of boston butt) that required additional cooking time. When I checked it at 11PM last night, it wasn't quite right, so I let it cook through the night - almost 17 hours of cooking! When I woke up this morning, the meat just fell apart. I can't wait for dinner tonight!

Provided it came out good, I'll post the recipe in the near future.
