Rinse the pork, place on a cutting board, pat dry with paper towels and rub in the salt and pepper. Set the pork in the bowl of a slow cooker, scatter the onion over the pork, sprinkle in the garlic and add the wine. Cook until the meat easily pulls apart with a fork, about 5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.

Turn off the slow cooker and transfer the pork to a platter. Use two forks to shred the meat.

If you don't have a slow cooker, you can braise the pork shoulder in a 325 degrees F oven for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.

Excellent!&nbsp; So easy and very delicious.&nbsp; I happened to receive a pork shoulder and so I searched for different recipes (as I most likely would never have purchased pork shoulder) and found Melissa's wonderful.&nbsp; My only added note is that I place carrots on the bottom (that way the veggie is also already cooked).&nbsp; I have made it both with bone in/without; I prefer bone-in.&nbsp; Also, leftovers are as good if not better!

Amazing recipe! So easy! So versatile!  Peppy and cheap!

This really is a good all-purpose slow cooker pork recipe! I have used this pork for both Philly-style pork sandwiches and in Cubanos. Works perfect for both. 

My 'go-to' recipe for a pork shoulder! <br />Since my family isn't huge on BBQ, I make this for friend/family &amp; serve w/mashed potatoes &amp; gravy, Any leftovers will have a touch of BBQ sauce added and/or will be turned into Cubano sandwiches - GREAT recipe!

Is there a conversion for time cooked to pounds of meat?<br />I want to try this recipe, but I have pork shoulder cut into 1 pound chunks; how long would this take if I were only cooking the 1 pound?

This makes a great batch of beautifully cooked pork, now what about some of the varied ways to use it, making meals for two beyond gobs of barbecue sauce and a bun?

OMG! This is an easy flavorful recipe. I have prepared another recipe calling for nectar and a lot of other things you may not have in pantry. This is  a keeper. I cooked in oven my slow cooker was not large enough. I  just adjusted the cooking time.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

This is the best pork roast recipe I have ever made and had the pleasure of eating! <div>It’s amazing that with so few ingredients my roast had such incredible flavor notes. </div><div>“Less was definitely more”. </div><div>I seared all sides of my 3 1/4 lb. roast, sautéed the onion and garlic in its juices before putting it into the crockpot to cook on high for 3 1/2 - 4 hrs.</div><div>”Absolutely Delicious” ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️</div><div>By far the best (my favorite) pork roast recipe!</div><div>Without a doubt I will make it again and with no hesitation will share it to no end!</div><div>Rose</div>

This recipe is so tasty. We've made it several times now. Can use the meat in various ways, which means leftovers disappear quickly too!
