Cover crock pot with lid & cook on low 8-10 hrs, or til pork is very tender.

With tongs, transfer pork to large bowl. Turn crock pot to high, & cover & heat sauce to boiling to thicken & slightly reduce. While sauce boils, use 2 forks to pull pork into shreds. Return shredded pork to crock pot & mix into sauce. Cover crock pot & heat through, on high setting if necessary.
