You'll need: 1 pork roast (4 - 5 pounds) 1 jar salsa (we used mild) 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 large can pineapple chunks, with juice 1 small can pineapple juice Spray the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.

When done, stir so pork gets coated (pull it apart with a fork) then serve on hamburger buns. (or if you used pineapple, tortillas, tastes like Bajio!)
