Pulled Pork Yumminess!

I thought it would be fun to document some of the dinners I make ...........

I came across this little piece of paper in my junk drawer and it had the recipe to pulled pork sandwiches. The last time I made this meal it was for Ethan's baptism. I knew that if I didn't put that recipe in a safe place I would loose it forever. I do have a recipe book, but it's so much more fun to write it down this way. 5lbs of pork butt or pork shoulder/bone in. Fat side up
In a bowl mix 1/2 cup of dijon mustard. You actually don't even taste the flavor of the mustard
it's just there to make a nice bark on the top of the pork.

1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar.

2 tablespoons of coarsely ground pepper.

2 teaspoons of smoked paprika.

The color of this spice is so beautiful and the smell is very fragrant.

2 teaspoons of garlic salt.

1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Pour mixture over roast and let marinate in the fridge for 4-24 hours.
After you marinade it take it out and let it sit until room temperature. That usually takes about 30 minutes or so. Next, put your butt (* hehe :)*...how old am I? .... ) on a roasting pan so that the meat will be separated from the fat drippings. Also add about a cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan for moisture. Lastly, put the roast in the oven at 300 degrees for about 5 hours and baste every hour with apple juice. When your meat is falling off the bone ...voila, your done!

*Let meat stand for at least an hour before shredding*

The end result! I shredded half and left the other half whole for you to see.

Yummo!

I forgot to add an important step!!!!!!

Make sure you sneak a piece before anyone sees you :)

You know, just to make sure it's good enough for everyone to eat. I like to put a touch of horseradish sauce and BBQ on my bun....

gives it just a little zing.

Enjoy!!
