Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Peach Barbecue Sauce

Is it just me, or does there seem to be an endless amount of ways to make pulled pork?  I've tried two variations before this one, and still like and use them to this day.  But, I have to say that since this one makes a refreshingly light peach barbecue sauce to accompany it, it's the winner so far.

Although, my sister-in-law made a delicious Carolina pulled pork when we were on vacation together in May.  That might top it, once I finally get to making it.

Until then, take advantage of the peach season and throw this together in the morning to let it cook through out the day in the crockpot.  When you get home, you'll walk into a mouth-watering smell penetrating in your home.  Slap that meat on some buns, and take a bite.

Notes

A sweet and fruity barbecue pork that leaves you sitting light, not heavy. I would not recommend using the store-bought Hawaiian buns as they turned soggy almost immediately from the sauce. You can also refer to the original recipe for a citrusy coleslaw that is a good accompaniment to the pork.
