“Household” Pulled BBQ Pork Recipe
Ingredients:
2 T. Liquid Smoke
1 cup tap water
1 each Whole Pork Shoulder/Boston Butt
2/3 cup Seasoned Salt
1 T. Black Pepper
2 cups of your favorite BBQ Sauce
Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 225° F.
Pour the liquid smoke, and water into the bottom of a roasting pan.
Place a roasting rack into the pan.
Rub the entire exterior of the shoulder with the seasonings.
Place the seasoned shoulder onto the rack, fat side up, then cover the pan with a tight fitting lid.
Place the covered pan into the hot oven, and roast for 5 to 6 hours.
Remove the pan from the oven carefully. The meat should be very tender, and between 190 – 200°F.
Remove the meat from the pan and break it into five or six pieces using tongs.
Allow the meat to cool for 15 – 30 minutes until it is cool enough to touch.
Break the meat into 1″ by 2″ chunks, remove any undesirable fat or gristle, and place the meat into a mixing bowl.
Gently stir in the sauce with a rubber spatula.
Transfer the sauced meat into 2″ deep x 9″ wide x 13″ long (cake or aluminum) pans and cover with a lid or foil.
