Pulled Pork

Buy a pork SHOULDER roast. If you get one with bone IN it, it will most likely be cheaper and also more flavorful. I would figure about a pound for every 1.5-2 people. Take a fork and punch holes in it. Rub some salt and pepper on it (not much) I also pour some Worchester sauce on both sides and rub gently so it absorbs. Place meat in crock pot. Cover completely with apple juice. If you are home for 1-2 hours, or however long when you start it--start on HIGH. If you are not going to be home just let it cook all day on LOW. If I cook 2 hours on high, then turn to low, it will take AT LEAST 6 hours, 8 is better, so more tender. Cooking on low keeps it tender--and always leave on low when you leave your house. KEEP COVERED at all times. Don't peek at it, unless you need to add more liquid. I turn it over ONCE after about 4 hours, but you don't have to. Pull apart with two forks. I would probably then put it back in the crock pot OR put at least half of it stovetop in a pan and put some BBQ sauce in it. You can put BBQ sauce in crock pot too, but didn't know if you wanted to sauce all of it.
