Hi Barb-
I have the easiest recipe for crock-pot pork; however, the BBQ sauce I use is not vinegar based. I purchase a pork tenderlion and "Sweet Baby Rays" (THE BEST!) BBQ Sauce. Place the pork tenderlion in the crock-pot; pour 3/4 of the bottle of BBQ sauce over tenderlion. Flip tenderlion over to coat all sides. Cook on high for 3.5 to 4 hours. Transfer tenderlion onto a large plate. Using a fork in each hand, pull pork apart; shredding into bite-size pieces. Pour the remainder of the BBQ sauce over pork and mix throughly.
Barb- maybe your grocery store sells the NC style BBQ sauce that you could use inplace of the Sweet Baby Rays.

North Carolina-Style Coleslaw
1 large head green cabbage
1 -1/2 Eastern North Carolina-Style Vinegar Sauce
Salt (optional)
Remove the core from the cabbage and discard it. Cut the cabbage
into 8 chunks. Finely chop the cabbage in a food processor using
the metal blade and pulsing the motor (this is a chopped, not
sliced or slivered, slaw). Work in several batches so as not to
overcrowd the processor bowl.
Place the cabbage in a large non-reactive bowl and stir in the
vinegar sauce. Taste for seasoning, adding more vinegar sauce as
necessary. Let stand for 10 minutes, then taste again, adding
more vinegar sauce and/or salt as necessary. The coleslaw can be
made up to 4 hours ahead. Store it in the refrigerator, covered.
We put this slaw on our pork barbecues in NC or eat as a side
with pulled pork.
Yield: 6 to 8 cups
