BBQ Pulled Pork
- 4 pounds Pork Shoulder
- 1 whole Onion, Chopped
- 1 bottle BBQ Sauce
- 8 ounces, fluid Ginger Ale
- 2 Tablespoons Sweet Paprika
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
- 1 Tablespoon Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon White Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl to make the dry rub (you will only use about a quarter of the amount this makes, so keep the rest on hand for your ribs or chicken or fish....).
- Chop the onion and place half in the bottom of your crock pot.
- Coat the pork with the rub.
- Put the pork shoulder (boneless or bone-in, it doesnt matter) on top, and top with the rest of the onion.
- Sprinkle more rub over everything.
- Pour the ginger ale over the top, cover, and cook on low for 12 hours.
- Remove the pork from the crock pot and transfer to a large cutting board or platter.
- Use two forks to shred the meat.
- Remove and discard the bone, if necessary.
- Sprinkle more rub over the shredded meat.
- Put the pork back in the crock pot and sprinkle with more rub.
- Dump in an entire bottle of BBQ sauce, give it a good stir, and cook on low for another six hours.
- Because the liquid will start to evaporate, I recommend stirring the pork once an hour for the first three hours, every half hour for the next two hours, and every 15 minutes for the last hour.
- Of course, its certainly not necessary to stir it that much, but I found that the meat started sticking to my crock pot and that stirring it certainly helped a good deal.
- Makes 8-12 servings and keeps well in the fridge.
- Enjoy!
