Smithfield Pulled Pork with Cranberry Barbecue Sauce
Living in Texas, we don’t have the traditional four seasons like most of the country. You know where the trees change colors, and you can see the seasons change right before your eyes? We don’t have that here. It’s actually sad. For us, our weather is more like it’s hot or cool with a couple weeks of…dang it’s cold outside! Even though the temperature is only around 40 degrees outside, it’s freezing for us down here in South Texas. :)
During Fall, we still have the opportunity to get out and grill, but some days it’s best to stay indoors and enjoy the warmth of our homes! This past weekend was one of those times when enjoying the warmth of my home was better than braving the cold to grill out.
On cold days like last weekend, my trusty crockpot comes in handy. Dropping dinner in the crockpot and curling up on the couch under the covers to stay warm means we get to smell the deliciousness cooking for us, and we don’t have to move to cook it! Win…win!! :)
To me, pork is perfect for the fall and winter months. I don’t know why I feel that way. It’s not like we don’t eat pork all year long, but there is something about a Smithfield All Natural Fresh Pork Tenderloin during the fall that warms my heart like nobody’s business! You feel that way too, right?
Smithfield makes it easy to enjoy a pulled pork sandwich with their all natural fresh products available at Walmart. This Cranberry Barbecue Sauce topped on a Smithfield All Natural Fresh Pulled Pork sandwich is one of our favorite recipes. Say pulled pork in my house and the guys faces light up like it’s Thanksgiving day and there are endless sides on the table!
