Yule be Baking...

Festivals of Light

 

This is the way you do it…

Stir together all the above ingredients and put beef or pork into a 3-quart slow-cooker.  Pour the liquid mixture over the meat.  Cover, cook on low for about 8 hours until very tender.  Transfer the meat to plate.  Cool slightly, then use 2 forks and shred the meat.  Return to the sauce in the slow cooker and keep warm.  An option is to serve on buns... [but you may want to forego Reindeer “buns”].  As an alternative, you may substitute a cheap roast (ask the butcher or pick up whatevers on sale) and place it in a slow cooker with a can or two of beef broth for a long slow cook (for 8-10 hours).  Put some barbecue sauce in with it while it simmered but it didnt give it a strong barbecue flavour.  The trick (after beef is finished cooking and is pulled) is to possibly get rid of some of the broth, place shredded beef into the cooker and add barbecue sauce, continuing to keep warm.  Once the meat is slow-cooked long enough, it is very tender and will pull apart easily with two forks.
