What's For Dinner?

We went to a family cook out this summer and there was the best pulled pork I have ever tasted and I knew I had to have the recipe. Well I finally got around to making it and wanted to share the it because it came out a-maz-ing. 





Ingredients
Dry rub:
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (I used light, because that's what I had)
  • 2 tablespoons paprika 
  • 1/2 tablespoon cayenne
  • 4 pound shoulder pork roast (I used pork "butt" because that is what the man behind the meat counter sold me)

  • 2 cup apple juice
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar 
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire
  • 1/2 tablespoon liquid smoke (I didn't have this and didn't want to buy it)
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder



Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Mix the dry rub ingredients in small bowl. Sprinkle dry rub all over the pork roast, pressing into the pork. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. (I let mine sit overnight)
Combine liquid ingredients and the garlic powder in a medium bowl and pour into a large dutch oven. Place pork in the oven and tightly cover with aluminum foil then lid. Roast for 4 hours or until fork tender and shreds easily. Brush the roast with cooking liquid every hour.
Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to handle. Shred the pork with a fork or tongs into bite size pieces.
.....after I shredded it I poured BBQ sauce all over it then served it.
