The First Adventure… Our own recipe for Pulled pork

Hello Everyone! As this is our first post on here I wanted to introduce ourselves. To be blunt, my wife and I are food junkies. We love to try new things and explore new restaurants and recipes. When we talk about traveling, we ALWAYS take into consideration the food! After all, is a place really worth visiting if they don't have good food? NOPE! Anyway, the reason for creating a blog like this was to share our experiences and adventures with food. We will be providing recipes inspired by our experiences and tastes. We hope you enjoy them.

The first recipe that I would like to share is our pulled pork recipe. We were inspired by the pulled pork and BBQ sauce of the southern states on the last few trips down south. With that said I have come up with a delicious and easy southern style pulled pork! Unlike the pulled pork here in Pittsburgh, this recipe is vinegar based and therefore isn't the sweet and smoky BBQ sauce we are used to. I absolutely love this pulled pork. I hope you all enjoy it as well.

Pulled pork Ingredients:

1 6-Quart or larger slow cooker

1 Pork butt or shoulder (5 to 8 pounds)

4 - 12oz bottles of Yuengling Lager or any other lager beer.

2 cups packed dark brown sugar

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin

1 tablespoon minced garlic cloves

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper

1 bottle Bullseye Carolina Style BBQ sauce

Directions:

Combine all Pulled pork ingredients except for the BBQ sauce and cook in a slow cooker for 6 hours or longer until the meat falls apart. Be sure to keep turning the pork every couple hours for even cooking. Once the pork is falling apart, take the pork out (you may need a slotted spoon to get the remaining pieces that have already started falling apart) and shred it. Keep about 1/2 cup of the liquid from the slow cooker (not the oil/fat on the surface) and combine with half to 3/4 a bottle of Bullseye BBQ sauce. Toss the shredded pork in the sauce and enjoy! I usually like to place this on a hard roll. Potato buns also work very well with this recipe. Heck… even place this on a burger!

Enjoy!
