Memorial Day Babies

How was every one's Memorial Day? Yes... I do realize I am a bit late by like they say...........
We had a grand day at my home with DH's and my family.
I tried pulled pork sandwiches this year, yummmmy.
Here is the recipe:

Pulled Pork (Crock Pot) Recipe

1 day | 30 min prep | SERVES 10 4 lbs pork roast (shoulder or butt)

2 large onions
ginger ale to almost cover the roast
1 (18 ounce) bottle favorite barbecue sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
barbecue sauce, for serving (optional)

Slice one onion and place in crock pot.
Put in the roast and cover with the other onion, sliced. Pour over the ginger ale. Cover and cook on LOW for about 12 hours.
Remove the meat, strain and save the onions, discard all liquid. With two forks, shred the meat, discarding any remaining fat, bones or skin. Most of the fat will have melted away.
Return the shredded meat and the onions to the crock pot, stir in the barbecue sauce plus some more ginger-ale if you want more liquid. Continue to cook for another 4 to 6 hours on LOW.
Serve with hamburger buns or rolls and additional barbecue sauce. Any leftovers freeze very well.
TIP: freeze ready-made sandwiches - a scoop of meat on a bun, well-wrapped. These make a great quick meal or snack. To reheat, remove wrapping, wrap in a paper towel, and zap 1-2 minute in the microwave.
Note: Shoulder or butt are recommended because the meat shreds very well. Other cuts do not shred as readily. It is a fattier cut, but the fat melts away in the cooking and is poured away when you discard the liquid.
Note 2: I have an older, smaller crock pot. The above times work perfectly for me. But if you have a newer or bigger crock pot, you may need to revise times downward, esp. after the BBQ sauce is added. I think you need at least a couple of hours for it all to meld, but that may be all you need.

goodstuff...
