The Dressed Pig - a pulled pork delight

Give this easy pulled pork recipe a try, you won't regret it! I have been known to lock up my slow cooker during the summer months to make room for all the wonderful BBQ recipes we enjoy, but when it comes to large groups the slow cooker is key.  Pulled pork sandwiches are easy and always delicious.  Serve with a nice fresh coleslaw and perhaps a spicy horseradish. Bon Appetite!
