BBQ Pulled Pork

Recipe from Laura's friend, Rachel Steigerwald.

Rachel’s comments: This is a Shubert family recipe that we adapted to fit our spicy style. The BBQ sauce itself is pretty awesome. This recipe makes extra sauce, so save it for chicken another night.

Shubert BBQ Sauce:

6 cups (1.5 quart) Ketchup
1/2 cup Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup prepared mustard
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup light corn syrup

Combine all BBQ sauce ingredients in a bowl. Mix well.

Pulled Pork:

Line the bottom of the slow cooker with sliced onions and half the garlic, add the pork butt, and cover with the rest of the onions and garlic.
