    Ingredients:
    2-3 lb boneless Boston Butt
    1 large onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 tablespoon smoked paprika
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    1 teaspoon pepper
    2 cups liquid (I used white zinfandel wine)
    1 - 18 oz bottle barbecue sauce
    Method:
    1. Mix paprika, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a little bowl. Then use spices as a rub for the meat. Add pork to crockpot and pour in liquid. Add garlic and onions. Turn crockpot on low for 8-10 hours.
    2. The pork should be completely falling apart after cooking. Pour off liquid, reserving about 1/4 cup. Shred the pork with a fork and add barbecue sauce. Mix well. Turn crockpot to high for about 30 minutes, or until heated through. less
