Slow Cooker Southern Pulled Pork
This Slow Cooker Southern Pulled Pork is one of our family favorites, so I wanted to make sure to share it during our Crocktober series!
Mr. Gracious' grandpa makes a various assortment of delicious meats, and has a special barbecue sauce concoction. Mr. Gracious loves his grandpa's Southern cooking, so I wanted to be able to make some at home.
The key to making Southern meats is vinegar. It adds a very distinct tangy flavor, but it also tenderizes the meat making it moist and juicy and delicious. This Slow Cooker Southern Pulled Pork recipe calls for apple cider vinegar, and the resulting sauce is very tangy with just a tiny bit of spice.
I love topping my Slow Cooker Southern Pulled Pork sandwich with a little bit of creamy sweet coleslaw to add some crunch and a bit of sweetness to balance the tangy flavor.
I hope you enjoyed our Crockpot series this month! We still have one more finale post tomorrow, so stay tuned! And check out our Crocktober Main Page for more delicious Crockpot recipes!

Some of the best barbecue I've ever tasted. It reminds me of Holcomb's Barbecue in middle GA. So many are tomato based but this is what I grew up eating. I've shared your recipe with others who love it as well.
