Pulled Pork

We tried a great but very simple pulled pork recipe for the crock pot.  The basic concept is to take a pork butt (about 6-7 pounds for our crock pot) and simply dump a can of ginger ale over the top and cook it for about 8 hours or until it's cooked enough to start pulling it apart all the way through.  We added a large chopped onion as well, but no salt pepper or other spices. After the pork is cooked, take it out of the crock pot and let it cool down a little bit.  Chop and shred it up and mix it with your favorite barbecue sauce, or make your own sauce, mix it all together and put it back in the crock pot for about 2 more hours.  Turned out great!  After checking into this recipe further, a lot of different people have tried beer, Coca Cola, Orange Soda, or just about any carbonated liquid.  In the future I would like to try a brown ale, or a smoked porter.
