BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Refrigerating the pork overnight in the marinade is essential for great flavor. The meat should be fork tender after cooking so it is easy to shred. Serve with coleslaw on the side, and additional BBQ sauce if desired.
- 3 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder roast, cut into chunks
- 2/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic

- 1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
