Time P1DT5h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 pork butt (I buy one around 5-6 pounds)
salt
cracked black pepper
garlic powder
onion
garlic
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup ketchup
2 cups water
Tabasco sauce
2 cups water
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup vinegar
3 teaspoons molasses
3 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 large onion, grated

Steps:

  • Make the sauce one or two days ahead.
  • Roll the pork in the salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Bake like you normaly would, usually low and slow.
  • At this point the rest is up to you-you can shred the pork now with forks, and chop some (this is what you would do if you had been grilling or smoking the roast), adding sauce of choice.
  • Or, if you have a good amount of leftover pork butt roast you can --
  • Get a large pot and place the pork in it.
  • Add water up to half way up the pork-cut up 3 or 4 onions and a whole head of garlic and add to water along with the bay-bring to a boil, cover and reduce to simmer-I simmer for around 3 hours or until the pork is falling away from the bone.
  • Remove the meat (reserve the broth for something else like beans or soup) Shred the pork and add to sauce of choice.
  • Serve on toasted buns, some folks put slaw on it or on the side and Southern Barbecued Beans.
  • For the Lexington style sauce add all ingredients to a pot, bring to a boil and simmer to desired thickness.
  • For the NC firey style bring to a boil-reduce and simmer for 15 minutes-this will keep for 6 months in the fridge.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the pulled pork was really tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

This recipe was easy to follow, but the pulled pork didn't turn out as tender as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked it.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory sauce.

This pulled pork was a bit dry for my taste. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

I've tried many pulled pork recipes, but this one is by far the best. The vinegar-based sauce is amazing, and the meat is so flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe!
