Famous Pulled Pork *

Serves: 12+

Ingredients

Dry rub:

• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon cayenne - or less its spicy

__________

• 4 pound shoulder pork roast

__________

• 2 cup apple juice
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire
• 1/2 tablespoon liquid smoke
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

Additions

• 12 soft hamburger buns with seeds
• Bbq sauce
• Cole slaw

Instructions
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.

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.

Serve on hamburger buns topped with BBQ sauce and cole slaw.

NIKKI notes: don't use as much cayenne. Can use 3T rub spice mix in place of paprika, salt etc but still add pepper. Use fresh garlic instead of powder. Drain liquid after cooked put liquid in pan and reduced it down to about half to drizzle over pork.

This really spells strong of liquid smoke.  Maybe I am too sensitive to the smell, but it's best to crack a window or cook outside if possible.
