A slightly different take on the standard "crockpot pulled pork", which I find far too sweet. Heat balanced by fat balanced by a background of smoky cinnamon will be a hit at your next get together, or just keeping the family warm in the winter!

    1
    Place roast in large slow-cooker, fat side up.

    5
    Cover and cook on Low 10-12 hours, or High 6-8 hours (until the bone comes free and clean out of roast). Longer the better!
