Pulled Pork Sandwich

I found this recipe in one of my favorite magazines, Canadian Living, and made it a few weeks ago!!  It was so yummy, tender & juicy that I am making it again today for dinner.  It is simple with very little prep, and it sits in the slow cooker all day just absorbing all of the saucy goodness!  Here it is for you to try...your sure to make apart of your family favorites.
