From "Good Eats," episode "American Classics III." Used to make Red Beans and Rice. Note that this is a flavoring method, and is not edible as is; it still has to be cooked first!

I'm not a big fan of pork, but I really enjoyed this pickled pork recipe. The pickling liquid really tenderized the pork and gave it a great flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. It's also a nice change from the usual roasted or grilled pork.

I found this recipe to be too salty. I would recommend using less salt in the pickling liquid.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork turned out tough and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made this pickled pork recipe several times, and it always turns out great. The pork is always juicy and tender, and the pickling liquid is so flavorful. I love serving it with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

This pickled pork recipe from Alton Brown is a must-try! The pork is tender and flavorful, and the pickling liquid is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with my family.
