You will need...
2 1/2 lb. pork boneless shoulder
1 TBSP Jamaican jerk seasoning(dry)
1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup cola
2 c. barbecue sauce

If pork comes in netting or is tied, do not remove. Spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Rub jerk seasoning over pork and sprinkle with thyme. Place pork in slow cooker. Sprinkle with onion. Pour cola over pork.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Remove pork from slow cooker and place on a cutting board. Remove juices from cooker and reserve. Remove netting or strings from pork. Use 2 forks to pull pork into shreds. Return pork to cooker. Stir in barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup of the reserved juices. Increase heat setting to high. Cover and cook 30-45 minutes or until heated through.
Spoon pork onto buns. In a 2 quart saucepan, heat remaining juices to a boil. Serve with sandwiches for dipping if desired.
This pork works great for tacos and burritos too.
