Pulled Pork

One of my favorite things - pulled pork. We made it one day for a Steeler game - the Steelers won that day so it will become part of our game day rotation.

Marinade:
2 lbs boneless pork butt
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
1 TBSP hot sauce

Sauce:
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp smoke-flavored salt (I didn't have this so I used a couple drops of liquid smoke)
1 TBSP apple cider vinegar

Cut the piece of pork into 2 or 3 equal sized pieces.
Whisk together the ingredients for the marinade, and rub into the pork.
Let set in the marinade overnight.

In morning, mix together the ingredients for the sauce, adjusting amounts of sugar and vinegar depending on your preference for sweet or tangy sauce.

Put the pork and the marinade in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over it.

Cook on low for about 8 hours, then shred with two forks and cook another hour.

Served with coleslaw.
