Spicy Crock Pot Pull Pork

Updated photograph of the recipe. 

My husband has been nagging me about making him pulled pork for a while so I decided to finally make it. I decided to take advantage of the fact that it was the holiday. I invited my family over to celebrate New Year's Eve at our house and made this awesome recipe. After waking up at 5:00 am and groggily starting the whole process I realized that I hadn't taken pictures of the process. So I will be posting the recipe, but I'll have to make it again so I can post the photographs of the process. As you can imagine my hubby was "so sad" when he found out he was gonna have to eat pulled pork again... lol. On the photo above I'd made a double recipe for my family. The leftover pork was used to make some amazing sloppy joe's the next day (with a little cheese and bbq sauce!) I promise I will be uploading the photos pretty soon!

This is the original picture of the post. Double recipe.

 Update: I added pictures of the procedure. When I first made the post, it was for a family reunion, so I doubled the recipe. In the procedure photographs you'll see only one pork, except in the last one. That quantity of pulled pork is of two porks. Enjoy!
