Made this for my DGSs who do not like anything differant so I was a little nervous about the apple in this - but it was very well recieved and both boys went back for secons. Being lazy, On the last step I just mixed the sauce and flour, added to the pot on warm and it thickened up just fine. The apples just seemed to add an extra flavor that you couldn't really pick out as apples - just a very good differant. This may be my permanant pulled pork recipe from now on. Made for Spring PAC 2012

We live in Canada's only border town on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border which runs down the middle of town. Living in the heartland of Heavy Oil, John works in Oilfield construction and Debi in finance. We both love our Company's Coming cookbooks and of course all the fine recipes here on Zaar. After a 6 month winter we cannot wait to get to the Bbq even though we do use it all year. Food cooked outdoors in +30 always tastes better than food cooked in -30 we think, the added bonus is your beer don't freeze. We both love a good meal at home, at a friends or out and about in town. Life is pretty laid back and spent with family and friends, oh and our Border Collie ...Saorsha (Gaelic for Freedom). Right now our world revolves around our first grandson Keegan....just a bundle of fun that goes home at the end of the day to make it even nicer. Thats about it. Thanks for all the recipes you have given us and all your comments which help us learn and grow.
