THE CLAIM
When you hear the words "pork" and "crock pot," most assume that we're talking about the variety soaked in BBQ sauce. TidyMom offers this recipe for a more traditional Slow Cooker Pulled Pork. See link in photo caption for recipe and photo source.

THE TEST
Guinea Pig Jennifer made this recipe. Per the recipe suggestion, she substituted apple juice for hard cider. The result? Delicious and moist! Just the right amount of sweetness and just a hint of "apple." But there are some things to note:
- Again, this is not BBQ Pork. It's shredded pork. Add sauce of your choice when serving.
- 4-5 lbs of meat is a lot of meat. Jennifer made this for two adults and a toddler. See the picture below. There were plenty of leftovers for shredded pork nachos.
- We'll say it again: 4-5 lbs of meat is a lot of meat. You'll need more than 4-5 hours on low in a crock pot to shred this. Aim for 7-8 hours instead.
CONCLUSION
YUM! Proof that pork in a crock pot doesn't need to be BBQ.
