Pullled Pork....so easy...really

I see a lot of food blogs and mostly they look like this:


Maple pumpkin pulled pork



For most people, this is interesting to look at but it is not getting to a table near you. Here's some pulled pork you can do:

Pork shoulder 3-4 pounds bone in
2 bottles of your favorite BBQ sauce
1 -2 cups of water.

Cook on high for 4 hours. It is done if flakes when you poke it with a fork.

Get your butcher to cut your pork in to large pieces: it fits batter in the slow cooker. The supermarket meat department will do that, too.

No slow cooker, go to Goodwill. There is always a cheap one on the shelf. Or buy brand new and get the best you can. The newest one have timers and warmer settings. I have three: none have that..

Yes you can make a sauce from scratch. I do. But there are some awesome BBQ companies out there, probably some locally infamous place where you live. Even Jack Daniels makes it own sauce.

To "pull" the pork, place the pork on a cutting board. Use two forks to separate the meat from the fat and bones. Shred the meat with the forks and out back in sauce. Throw out bones and  fat.

At this point, some of the mixture can be frozen to be thawed and eaten at another time.

Get some good rolls. A good roll is the roll you love!

Enjoy!

Pork Roast: because you need time to garden!!!

Pork Roast is very inexpensive this week. At $.99, it is good cheap eats. Here is a recipe that anyone and everyone can do. This  was a seven pound roast and i rubbed it with a store bought spice rub and put it in this alum pan. The oven was set to 250 degrees and left the roast in there for 12 hours. Yes 12 hours. This is an overnight. you can cover it with foil if you want. It was so tender : like butter. It can be in sandwiches or with potatoes and veg. It was so simple and so good. The bone is going in the crockpot with two pounds of split peas and water to cover....So much good eating but me not in the kitchen. Thinking about flowers and vegetables. Gardening. If you dont garden , this roast will give you plenty of time for whatever your passion is!!!
