Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches
- 1 whole 5-7 Pound Boston Pork Shoulder Roast
- 3 Tablespoons Coarse Sea Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Paprika
- 1 Tablespoon Dry Mustard
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Tablespoon (heaping) Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 cup Brown Or Yellow Mustard
- 1/2 cups Ketchup
- 1/4 cups To 1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 whole Garlic Cloves, Smashed
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Reserved Juices From Pork Roast, Optional
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Mix the rub ingredients in a small bowl.
- Rub the spice blend all over the pork.
- (Optional: cover and refrigerate for at least an hour up to overnight.)
- Place pork in a roasting pan and into the oven for 6 hours (if making a smaller roast, adust the time).
- An instant thermometer should read 170 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the roast, but really it should be falling off the bone.
- When the pork is done, remove it to a platter to rest for 10 minutes.
- While the pork is resting, you can prepare the barbecue sauce by combining the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat.
- Simmer gently for 10 minutes until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove smashed garlic cloves and reduce heat to low until ready to use.
- While the pork is still warm, you will want to pull the meat using a couple of forks.
- Place the shredded meat into a large bowl, and pour half of the barbecue sauce over it.
- Stir and repeat if necessary or until the pork is covered.
- Serve on top of an onion roll or any bun of your choice.
- If you have leftover sauce, serve on the side.
- Note: if the sauce is too vinegary, add more brown sugar to balance it out.
- Some like it extra tangy!
- So adjust to taste.
- Also, the rub adds additional flavor to the sauce!
- Enjoy!
