Grampa Boo's Pulled Pork
Start with a high quality Pork Shoulder or Pork Butt keeping as much of th fat cap on as you feel comfortable with.
Generously rub with your favorite spices, I suggest:
Spice Rub
- 1 part Smoked Paprika
- 1 part cinnamon
- 1/4 part Cayenne pepper
- 1/4 part sea salt
- 1/2 part black pepper
- 1 part brown sugar
- 1 part thyme
- 1 part basil
Braising liquid
- 1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1/4 cup Bourbon
Cover the pork with the rub and drizzle with a little olive oil, place in a heavyduty roasting pan and let sit for 10-25 min.
Add braising liquid to the roasting pan.
cover with aluminum foil and Roast in a 200 degree oven for approx 5 to 6 hrs, or until the center bone can be pulled out without any resistance
When the meat is cooked and super tender, let it cool for a few minutes the 'pull' the pork away from the bone. Pour off and reserve the braising liquid.
With your hands or a large fork, break up the large pieces of pork. If it is dry add a little of the braising liquid.
At this point place the pulled pork in a crock pot or sauce pan add Grampa Boo's sauce until it is just covered and simmer until it is warmed through.
Serve on a nice bun with crumbled blue cheese or a sharp Irish Cheddar., and a creamy Cole slaw.
Enjoy!
