Barbecued Pulled Pork

I love this recipe:
http://www.kitchenmonki.com/recipe/BBQ_Pulled_Pork


Ingredients:
2 1⁄2 pounds Boneless Pork Shoulder, trim the fat off before cooking and season with salt and pepper.
3 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon Ground Cumin
1⁄2 cup Water
3 1⁄2 cups Barbecue Sauce, Tastes better with a sweet bbq sauce like Sweet Baby Ray's. (Debbie's note- I want to make a really good apricot barbecue sauce. This winter, I will perfect this)
1 package Sandwich Buns

In a small bowl, combine water, vinegar, worcestershire, and cumin. Pour over meat in slow cooker.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Remove meat and discard liquid. Shred meat using two forks to pull the meat apart and return the pulled meat to the cooker. Stir in 2 cups BBQ sauce and add rest of sauce to taste. Cook on high 30-45 more minutes and serve.
