Ingredients
1 can Dr. Pepper (or equivalent)7 oz can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo sauce3-4 pounds of pork should (aka Butt roast)1/2 an onion in large chunks1 tbsp molasses1/2 bunch of cilantro
Directions
quarter onion toss into crock pot with cilantro
Salt and pepper roast put in crock pot fat side up
dump can of chipotle on top of roast. Drizzle with Molasses.
Add can of Dr Pepper. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.

When it's cooked, remove roast and pull with two forks to shred. cool the sauce enough to solidify fat, remove the fat and then reheat as needed to use as gravy. (I strain all of the chunks out first then cool to skim fat off).

To lower the fat content, you could choose a leaner cut of meat, however once you pull the pork, there's not much fat in it if you do it correctly and the sauce goes to just shy of 80% lean if you let it cool in the fridge and then pull the fat off the top.
