Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

When I prepare a larger cut of meat, I am usually hoping to get at least 2 meals out of it, so I prefer to cook it with a somewhat neutral flavor. This allows me to have a tangy barbeque flavor for one meal and a zesty Tex-Mex flavor in the next one without any issues.
I have a few different versions that I rotate through depending on what foods are in my pantry or on sale, but here's one of my most recent:

4lb pork shoulder or butt (just about any pork roast will work too)
1 T celery salt
1 T (6 cloves) minced garlic
2 C apple juice

Rub the celery salt all over pork.
Place in slow cooker and sprinkle with garlic. Pour juice on top.
Cook on low 6-9 hours. Shred pork and return to slow cooker on warm setting until ready to serve. Refrigerate  leftovers.

A good slow cooker can make a big difference. In case you're in the market for one, I've included an affiliate link to my slow cooker. I got this as a wedding gift 6 1/2 years ago and it's still going strong. I love this thing and can't imagine my kitchen without it.


What's your favorite way to eat pulled pork?
