Cranberry Pulled Pork

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the roast in half, then place it in a 4-quart slow cooker. Add the cranberry juice and salt. Cover and cook the pork on low for 8 to 10 hours or until the meat is tender.

2. 2

   Remove the roast and set it aside. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce, ketchup, cranberry juice, brown sugar, seasonings and liquid smoke, if using. Cook and stir the sauce over medium heat until it's slightly thickened, about five minutes.

3. 3

   Skim the fat from the cooking juices. Set aside 1/2 cup of the juices, and discard the remaining portion. When it's cool enough to handle, shred the pork with two forks and return it to the slow cooker.

4. 4

   Stir in the sauce mixture and reserved cooking juices. Cover and cook on low for about one hour or until everything is heated through. Serve the pulled pork on buns.
