Pork Pork Roast
Comments (2)For a 5-6 lb boston butt or shoulder, combine 1 Tbl salt, 1/2 Tbl pepper, and 5 `cloves minced garlic, a little less if you prefer. Cub slits deep into pork and rub with the salt, pepper and garlic. Soak hickory chips in water, place in alum foil, seal tightly, poke holes around the top, and place over coals. Cook for 6 hours or more until done. ****I usually, the last hour or so, place the roast in cast iron skillet covered, in oven at 250, and let it cook till it falls off the bone. And serve with your favorite bbq sauce on the side. BTW, the drippings from skillet makes wonderful gravy for leftover open face pork sandwiches....See MoreFresh pork shoulder - need inspiration.

Comments (13)Colleen, is the pulled pork you use sweet and vinegar-y? I'm trying to imagine all these flavors together but my brain keeps saying carnitas should taste "like this". Stupid brain. Cathy, I've used a similar rub then cooked low and slow in the oven. The taste was good but my roast ended up dry. What did I do wrong? As for the Liqiuid Smoke, there's something about that flavor that doesn't do it for me, although my husband and brother in law are okay with it. Adding real cut up smoked pork (chops) gave it that authentic taste w/o having to use the liquid stuff or actually do the smoking. Semi-related story: When we were newlyweds we lived next to my new sister in law. Imagine Martha Stewart with a southern accent, black hair and startling blue eyes. She was so perfect that it was intimidating - the way she kept her home, the way she looked, everything - but especially her cooking. Everything she made was delicioius, and there I was next door, only knowing how to cook hot dogs, hamburgers, frozen pizza and tacos. I had a taste for sloppy joes one day - which we called bar b q sandwiches in my family. I called up the sil and asked, "How do you make bar b q?" To which she answered, "Well, first you dig a pit ..." I've been trying to perfect NC barbeque ever since then (without having to dig anything, lol). In other news, my son, his girlfriend and one of their friends stopped by on Sunday so I have WAY LESS leftovers to screw up. Thank you all for your help!...See MorePulled Pork/BBQ pork crockpot recipe
Comments (14)Well, here is what I am doing. I have it in the crockpot now. Everyone's recipes sound good, but I had all of these ingredients on hand. Didn't want to make the trip into town if I didn't have to. I made it simpler by coating the pork with the rub mixture, then placing in the crockpot and adding some of the basting sauce. I made the BBQ sauce, too, and will probably mix some of it with the pork before I freeze it. I'll let you know how it turns out. Barbecued Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Homemade BBQ Sauce Courtesy Emeril Lagasse 1 boneless pork butt, about 4 pounds 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons Essence 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon cayenne Wet Mop Basting Sauce, recipe follows Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows Place the pork in a baking dish. In a bowl, combine the sugar, Essence, salt, cumin, paprika, pepper, and cayenne. Rub the seasoning evenly over the pork to coat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Preheat an oven or smoker to 225 degrees F. Bring the pork to room temperature and place in a roasting pan, fat side up. Slow cook in the oven, basting with the Wet Mop Basting Sauce every 45 minutes, until tender and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. (The cooking should take about 6 to 7 hours.) Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes. With a knife and fork or two forks, pull the meat apart into small slices or chunks. Toss with the Barbecue Sauce, to taste, and divide among the hamburger buns. Top with coleslaw. Serve with additional Barbecue Sauce on the side. Wet Mop Basting Sauce: 1 cup white vinegar 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper 1 tablespoon salt The night before you cook the pork, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and whisk well. Refrigerate and let the flavors blend overnight. Yield: 2 1/4 cups Barbecue Sauce: 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 cup ketchup 3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon yellow mustard 1 tablespoon molasses 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk well to dissolve the sugar. Place in a squeeze bottle and dress the pulled pork sandwiches to taste. Yield: about 2 cups Linda...See More- 6 years ago
