Ingredients

  • 4 pounds pork roast (I used a pork shoulder)
  • 1 cup salsa (Get a really good salsa.  I used my homemade salsa.)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

Instructions

  • Place pork in slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the salsa, brown sugar, and cumin. Pour mixture over pork.
  • Cook on low for 10-12 hours or on high for 6 hours.
  • Remove pork from slow cooker and shred with two forks.
  • Return shredded meat to slow cooker and mix with the juices. Allow to cook for another 15 (or more) minutes. It doesn't hurt the meat to sit in the juices longer.
