On cool-weather weeknights, the slow cooker is our friend. The plums might surprise in these juicy pork sandwiches, but they add a little sweetness and make the meat extra tender. -Holly Battiste, Barrington, New Jersey

These sandwiches were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but I really enjoyed these sandwiches. The slaw was the perfect complement to the pork.

The pork was a little dry for my taste, but the slaw was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the pork for a shorter amount of time.
