Pulled Pork
"I have a favorite pork recipe for pulled pork, but saw this on MSN and wanted to try it. And let me say this is a new favorite. The sauce has just the right amount of kick and the cooking method is easy. This porbably could be done in the crock pot too."

- Ready In:
- 4hrs 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 13
- Serves:
-
10
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 12 ounces beer
- 3⁄4 cup ketchup
- 3⁄4 cup cider vinegar
- 1⁄2 cup whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 chipotle chile in adobo
- 5 lbs boston butt (bone-in)
directions
- Preheat oven to 300°F Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and very soft, about 20 minutes.
- Increase heat to high; add chili powder, cumin, paprika and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add beer, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, tomato paste, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, trim all visible fat from the pork.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the pork, spooning sauce over it. Cover the pan, transfer to the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Turn the pork over, cover, and bake for 1 1/2 hours more. Uncover and bake until a fork inserted into the meat turns easily, 1 to 2 hours more.
- Transfer the pork to a large bowl and cover with foil. Pour the sauce into a large measuring cup or glass bowl and refrigerate until the fat and sauce begin to separate, 15 minutes. Skim off the fat. Return the sauce to the pan and heat over medium-high until hot, about 4 minutes.
- Remove the bone and any remaining pieces of fat from the meat. The bone should easily slip away from the tender meat. Pull the pork apart into long shreds using two forks. Add the hot sauce to the meat; stir to combine. Serve hot.

This recipe was absolutely wonderful. I made this for Xmas and my famliy really enjoyed it. They are asking for another. I used a boston butt and cooked in the crockpot. Will make again. Made for Everyday is a Hoilday. -
Yummers!! This filled the whole house with a wonderful aroma all day long. In fact, when I pulled it out of the oven to let it cool a bit before I shredded it, I couldn't keep DH from 'testing' it!! Repeatedly!! We made sandwiches out of the meat and they were wonderful. The only problem that I had (other than DH getting full before dinner, lol) was that there was almost no liquid left in the pan. I ended up adding more beer to make it more of a 'sauce'. I'm thinking that this would also do very well in a crockpot where the liquid wouldn't evaporate. We will definitely be making this again and I highly recommend it. Thanks MsSally. -
I made this exactly as the recipe says, and it was awesome. I will be making it again and again - love it! -
Wow! This was a big hit with the whole family. So tasty, so yummy. I made this in the oven and followed all directions, except I only used half the cayenne pepper called for. I cooked it for two hours after taking the lid off, turning it over again after the first hour and a half, so the top would stay moist. -
Spring PAC 2008: Delicious!! Nice combination of spices!!

<p>First, I'd like thank everyone who reviews my recipes. I can't thank each of you personally although I try. <br /><br />I Live in central Virginia, 5 miles from where I grew up, w/ my Husband of 17 years and my beautiful daughter. She is 10 and is the joy of my life. We waited for a long time to be blessed with a child and it is the best thing I've ever done. Be a mother. <br /><br />I love to cook. We eat very healthy, after a life altering experience at 31 I've been on a journey to be healthy and lose weight. I've lost 50 lbs and have kept most all of it off for the last 9 years. There are always fluxs, durring stressful times, but I've mananged to keep most of the weight off. My best advice to anyone trying to lose weight is to remember that it didn't get there overnight and it won't come off overnight. I've never said I was on a diet. It is a lifestyle.</p>
<p>When Zaar first changed to Food I took a short hiatus. I was going thru a very hard time in life and was completely unmotivated to do anything and thus gave up my hosting duties on Holiday Tag. But now with a new perspective I'm hoping to get back to cooking and tagging.</p>
