Put the pork in the crock pot. Slam dunk that baby in, pour 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup water in the crock pot if "she" seems to be on the tough side.....also improves the flavor. Put it on high for 1 hour then turn it down to low and let it cook until it is falling apart. Then take it out, let it cool a bit then pull the meat into pieces, actually shredding it.
Oh hell, let me go and get the sauce recipe, then I've completed my one good deed for the day. OK, here it is. I have three recipes for the clear BBQ sauce and have combined them. The trick is to make a large batch and let it age in the refrigerator. I do use the sauce the same day I make it when making a new batch, so not to worry.
2 cups cider vinegar
2 cups white vinegar
1 cup water
1 tbsp peppercorns
1 tsp celery seeds
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp red pepper flakes
1 onion finely chopped
1-2 cups brown sugar*
(*This is really "to taste" All my recipes call for 3 tbsp brown sugar (I've found until you get about 2 cups in there is doesn't taste quite right.)
You can add 2-4 tbsp red pepper as well.
One other recipe calls for using molasses (1/2 cup) in lieu of brown sugar.
Bring this to a boil and reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Strain. Put in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or be like me and just leave it on the stove until you need it *bg*. But don't forget to strain it.
The "real" way to eat this is using a mayo based cole slaw. Put the pork on a hamburger roll, pour some sauce over it, plop some slaw on and now quickly turn the bun over as the sauce is softening the roll......eat!
You can also pour the sauce over all of the meat, but keep some aside for those that want extra sauce.

(Debbi note: sour cream-based cole slaw is good with it too, since I think mayo is evil. *vbeg*. The Princess' Pulled Pork recipe quickly became a favorite in our house. It is the best. I make my own hamburger buns and toast them after splitting them open before piling on everything. drool...)
