Pulled Pork and Peaches

Friday, July 23, 2010




Pulled pork and peaches, two Southern favorites, team up in this knockout barbecue sandwich. Your slow cooker does all the heavy lifting for you in this dish--all you have to do is assemble a few ingredients and walk away. Serve this sandwich at picnics or cookouts along with pasta salad and oven fries. This pork sandwich is a real crowd pleaser.
