The Anti-Chicken Fingers Movement - Carolina Barbecued Pork

If you're in the Carolinas, then it may feel like tomorrow is going to be the first day of spring, rather than winter.  With a balmy 75 degree high today and a chance of thunder this evening, who would know the difference!  Though my Christmas tree is telling a different story.  What a better way to celebrate the arrival of any new season than Carolina Barbecued Pork.  This slow-cooker recipe is the bomb!   So flavorful and the meat is so tender.  Serve with baked beans, mac n cheese...if the weather is just as nice where you are, open up a few windows and enjoy this "barbecued" dinner.
