Not kidding, that’s what this is called, Perfect Pulled Pork. It’s “Big, Bold and Unapologetic”, it says that right in the recipe.
I found this recipe years ago, like 8 years ago in a pork magazine. Honestly when I saw it was called “Perfect Pulled Pork”……….. I was skeptical.
But folks, it really is! It has just the right amount of flavor without taking away from the pork and literally falls apart when you stick a fork in it!
The seasoning combination that you rub on the outside compliments any barbecue sauce you choose or quite honestly is flavorful enough and the pork is moist enough you can eat it without.
This pairs perfectly with my Almost Award Winning Macaroni and Cheese or my Dill Potato Salad. It freezes well and reheats well also. Little tip, if you need liquid when reheating pork use apple juice instead of water!!
Perfect Pulled Pork
The recipe calls for a 5 pound pork shoulder, I often use bigger! Just be sure you adjust your cooking times for larger roasts.
