Cider Pork Stew

"This is a delicious slow cooker meal that combines tangy cider vinegar & sweet apple cider for a very savory flavor and really tender pork. I serve it with rice. Recently from the Jan/Feb 2008 issue of Diet & Nutrition magazine (and I think originally from the book 300 Slow Cooker Favorites), I modified it slightly. Tip: Don't forget (as I did) to have your butcher prepare the pork for you--save yourself the hassle!"
