Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pork:
- Start by rinsing the pork roast under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels.
-
Wrap and Place in Crock Pot:
- Loosely wrap the pork roast in aluminum foil, ensuring that the opening is at the bottom. This helps to seal in the juices during cooking.
- Carefully place the wrapped pork roast in the crock pot.
-
Add Ginger Ale:
- Pour the entire can of ginger ale over the pork roast in the crock pot. The ginger ale will infuse the meat with a subtle sweetness and help to tenderize it as it cooks.
-
Slow Cook:
- Set your crock pot to low heat and cook the pork roast for 12-15 hours. It’s best to cook it overnight to allow ample time for the meat to become tender and flavorful.
-
Check for Doneness:
- After 12 hours, check the pork roast to see if it’s ready. The meat should be fork-tender and easily pull apart. If it’s not quite done, allow it to cook for an additional 1-3 hours, until it reaches the desired level of tenderness.
-
Pull and Serve:
- Once the pork roast is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the crock pot.
- Using two forks, gently shred the meat until it’s fully pulled apart.
- Serve the succulent pulled pork with your favorite barbecue sauce for a deliciously satisfying meal! 🍴🎉
