A recipe came across my feedreader for pulled pork and it sounded so good I had to give it a try.. It had a homemade sauce which sounded so good and I could not wait to give it a try. Let me just say the sauce turned out horrible I hated the flavor I tried to fix it and I at least got it to taste okay but it gave the pork such a odd after taste and I was pretty bummed so in a last ditch effort I smothered my sandwich with A1 sauce… HEAVEN. I saved this recipe and enjoyed the sandwich quite a few times. Next time I try this recipe I plan to try a new bbq sauce recipe.

Source: I butchered it enough to call this my own in the end.

Prep Time: 1 hour(for a homemade sauce) Cook Time: 10-12hrs(pork roast)

• 1 6-7 lb. picnic pork roast.(I ended up buying a 10lb one)
• salt and pepper to rub roast with
• 7-8 cups of bbq sauce(my own recipe to come at some point).
• Buns

Rub the pork with salt and pepper and place it in the slow cooker. Pour in 6-7  cups of the prepared barbecue sauce, cover, and cook on high for 7-8 hours or low for 10-12 hours, until the meat is fork tender and falling apart.

Remove the meat and place it in a large bowl to cool. Allow the cooking liquid to cool for a few minutes and then strain off the fat. Once the meat is cool enough to handle, pull off the gristle and fat and shred with your hands.

Toss several cups (3-4) of the cooking liquid with the meat, adding as much as you want to keep it moist. Serve on buns with extra sauce.

Yields: 8-12 servings

Mmmm so good.. I can’t wait to try again with a different sauce! The one thing I want to say is don’t give up on a recipe too soon. I knew the sauce was not quite right but I cooked the roast with it because I thought maybe it would get a better flavor after cooking with the pork. Even though it had a weird taste I tried something else and it make it work. Take a gamble and the worst that can happen is you end up with fast food for dinner. :p The best thing that can happen is you end up with a new recipe that tastes great!
