Mom Tobler Pork Barbacoa

1 Two-pound pork roast (or larger)( This is 12 lbs. of pork in a 2 gal. zip-lock bag)
Cover with enough Coca-cola (not diet) to almost cover it.
Marinate in Refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.

In a slow cooker combine:
2 cups chicken broth or 1 14oz. can chicken broth
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons butter
1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks, undrained
1 tbsp. ground cumin
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Add the marinated pork roast (discard soda marinade)
(Note I use Oven bags in my Crock-pot for easier clean-up)
Simmer in slow cooker until meat is tender enough for shred.
Remove roast and shred. Strain juices.

Pour enough of the juices back over the shredded meat to keep it moist and juicy.

A 2 lb roast will serve approx. 10-12 .
