Ingredients

  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 5 lbs fresh pork picnic (mine was closer to 8 lbs.)
  • 5 whole cloves
  • 2 cups water
  • 12 ounces your favorite barbecue sauce
  • 1 large onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place one of the sliced onions in the bottom of a large crock pot, than add the pork picnic roast on top of the onions. Add the whole cloves and water, top the pork with the other sliced onion. Cover and cook on low for overnight or for 8-12 hours.
  2. Remove meat from crock pot, drain and discard the cloves, you can save the onions to add with the barbecue sauce if you like (I did). Discard all the fat and bones, shred the meat as you replace it in the crock pot. Add barbecue sauce, and chopped onion, mix well. Cover and cook high 3-5 hours or low 8-12. Serve from the crock pot on large buns.
