Directions:The classic Carolina pulled pork, easy to prepare and great for summer backyard gathering. Serve with a nice apple cider vinegar sauce on soft rolls.
Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Liberally rub pork shoulder with rub and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours and as long as 24 hours. Prepare Moppin sauce by combining we ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Let cool. Remove pork from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking. Prepare your grill or barbeque for a long slow cook, or about 150 to 200 degrees. Place a shallow pan of water in grill along with smoker box full of soaked hickory chips, then place pork over low heat for 4 to 5 hours, basting with Moppin sauce every 30 minutes. Refill smoker box and water midway through cooking.
Transfer pork to a carving board and let cool for 15 minutes. Using 2 forks, shred the pork form the bone. Place in a roasting pan or Dutch oven, with remaining sauce. Serve on sesame or egg buns with coleslaw.
Tip: For a lazy-mans pulled pork, try this recipe compliments of Pete Lufkin. Start with the 5 pound pork shoulder and two bottles of your favorite barbeqe sauce. Place pork in a covered Dutch oven or similar roasting pot and pour BBQ sauce on top. Cook at 320 degrees for 4-5 hours. Pull apart as described above and serve on cheap white buns, with mayo and chopped red onion. Serves 8-10. |
