My Mom was raised in Virginia, and the way they do pork barbecue is totally different than the midwesterners do. There is no barbecue sauce, its just vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes. The recipe is super easy, and low maintenance, but worth the time invested. All you need is a pork shoulder (about 5 pounds) and a crock pot. Now, I’ve started making this at night, by putting just the pork shoulder in the crock pot, nothing else, and cooking it on low all night. Then, in the morning, I will turn off the crock pot, take out the pork, remove any visible fat, pull apart the meat, it will be so tender it will just shred into pieces just by using a few forks to pull the meat apart. Then, I add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, and a few handfuls of crushed red pepper flakes, and Tabasco to taste. Stir and cook the rest of the day on low. Serve it on any kind of bun. You can add coleslaw on the side, or add it to the pork sandwich. Its very good (and if you are so inclined, I guess you could add BBQ sauce if you like!) I won’t tell!
