Pulled Pork Sandwiches from Quilt Walk and an antique quilt with a story to tell

Our lunches were so good at  festival this year.  Pat said she got two of these recipes from the Mel's Kitchen Cafe site. I asked her how she came to find this site because it has delicious recipes.  She said that she used to teach Mel piano lessons.  Kind of fun to have that connection.

Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS

• 3 to 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder (I’ve also used boneless pork loin – not tenderloin – but pork loin with good results)
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon hickory flavored liquid smoke
• 2 cups barbecue sauce

DIRECTIONS

1. Rinse the pork shoulder and pat dry. Rub salt and pepper over the pork and place in a slow cooker. Add water and liquid smoke. Cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours, until the pork is very tender.
2. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and discard the remaining liquid. Shred the pork using a couple of forks. Place the meat back in the slow cooker along with the barbecue sauce and continue to cook for another 20-30 minutes until the pork is hot again. Serve on buns with extra barbecue sauce.
