Pork shoulder is inexpensive and is a great meat to cook in a slow cooker. Simmering a pork shoulder makes it richer and a lot more tender. Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles or rice. Use the reserved meat to make turnovers or in your favorite pork casseroles. This dish may be cooked on low for 12 hours.
