Ingredients
- 4 lb (2 kg) boneless pork sirloin or shoulder roast

- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar

- To prepare sauce, whisk together broth, barbecue sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and garlic powder until blended. Pour over pork.
- Cover and cook on low heat setting until meat is fork tender, about 8 - 10 hours. Alternatively, cover and cook on high heat setting for 4 - 5 hours. Transfer pork to a platter and cover with foil. Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, if using high heat setting, decrease heat setting to low.
