"Pork is a nice sweet meat." The mice in the movie "Babe" said.
I don't want to get all Martha Stewart on you guys, but that hog made me start drewling.
My secret recipe for Pulled Pork makes awesome sandwiches, especially when served with a barbecue sauce flavored with Jack Daniels whiskey and Coke. Plan at least a day ahead to marinate pork loin. The barbecue sauce is made separately and can be used with any meat. Prep Time: 15 minutes the first day.
5 to 6 pounds boneless center cut pork loin or pork shoulder (remove shoulder back fat), sliced in half at its widest
For the Marinade:
2 cans of Coke
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
12 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tablespoon Tabasco sauce
2 teaspoons celery salt
Preparation:
Combine Coke, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, garlic, Tabasco sauce, and celery salt in a bowl, pan, or pot large enough to hold all the pork. Add the pork, turning to be sure it is well coated, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
For the Jack and Coke BBQ Sauce:
1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup Coke
1/3 cup Jack Daniels Whiskey
1/4 cup Frank's Hot Sauce, or other hot sauce of your choice
2 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
kosher salt, to taste
Combine the ketchup, Coke, Jack Daniels, hot sauce, honey, soy sauce, and salt to make the barbecue sauce.
Let set in refrigerator overnight.
Place the marinated meat in a roasting pan. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and cook the pork in the preheated oven for 1-1/2 hours. Pour off 2/3 of the liquid in the pan and spread the meat with the barbecue sauce and return it to the oven, uncovered, for another 1-1/2 hours. When the pork is done, it will shred easily with a fork. Test it, and if it's still a bit difficult to shred, return it to the oven for another 15 minutes and try again.
When the meat is done, remove it from the oven and shred it with a fork. Slice the rolls in half, pile on the pork, and serve with creamy coleslaw, baked beans and Jack Daniels and Coke over ice. We use Columbo Extra sour dough sandwich rolls, which I slice, coat with melted garlic butter and then toast either on the BBQ grill or broiler. I also dice 2 yellow and one red onion to sprinkle on top for those who aren't wimps. Makes about 8 sandwiches. I heap on the meat.
MAKE SURE you invite your anti-hunter "friends" for the feast, tell them after they eat and pat your back that you shot the hog.
