- 2 cups bottled or homemade barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey

Directions
- Trim pork of any excess fat. Scatter onion over bottom of slow cooker and place pork on top. Add broth, cover and cook on low until very tender, about 8 hours. Remove meat and let cool.

When cool enough to handle, pull meat into thin shreds, removing all fat and gristle. Skim excess fat from liquid in slow cooker.
