We had Pulled Pork (ready cooked) today for the first time and it was absolutely delicious - has anyone got some tips for doing it yourself - what spices etc etc...
I thought it would be a wonderful meal if guests came...

My OH has just discovered this so I'd like any recipes too ( see how good I am ) Well on most of the sites that I have been on you buy a bottle of Barbecue sauce, bung it on top of the meat and roast the meat for 4/5 hours (depending on the size) on 150/160C.. However I would like to be able to do it with simple and yet good herbs and spices if possible..a tad more creative than just opening a bottle. RF |

I kept thinking that it rang a bell Jilly..thanks. I have copied and pasted it RF ++++++++++++++ Carolina BBQ Pulled Pork ( Slow Cooker Recipe) Ingredients 1.5-2kg Pork Shoulder For the Dry Rub 15g Cumin 20g Dark Brown Sugar 30g Paprika 15g Chilli Powder 15g Salt 15g Black Pepper, ground 1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Garlic Powder For the Barbeque Cooking Sauce 240ml White Wine Vinegar 240ml Apple Cider Vinegar 85g Brown Sugar 15g Chilli flakes or Crushed Chillies 1 tsp Salt 1 tsp Black Pepper, ground Barbeque Dressing Sauce 4 tbs Tomato Puree 4 tbs Acacia Honey 1 tbs Dark Soy Sauce Saved Barbeque Cooking Sauce Method Day 1 : Mix all the ingredients for the Dry Rub and rub into the pork. Place in bowl, cover and leave in fridge overnight or for 12 hours Make the Barbeque Cooking Sauce by mixing and heating all the ingredients until the sugar disolves. Let cool. Day 2: Remove pork from fridge and allow to stand for an hour at room temperature. Heat some oil in a large frying pan, and sear all sides of the pork on high heat. Place pork in slow cooker on low heat, covering with the barbeque cooking sauce. Cook for 8-10 hours. Remove meat from cooker and put to one side, cover and keep warm Drain Barbeque Cooking Sauce into a container and put to one side; skim excess fat from top of sauce Make Barbeque Dressing Sauce Add ingredients to a pan on a medium heat, stirring until they are blended and the honey has dissolved. Add in as much of the drained Barbeque Cooking Sauce as required. Heat for 2-3 minutes Before serving Remove skin from pork, and then shred/pull the joint apart with forks. Pour desired amount of Barbeque Dressing Sauce over pork and then you are ready to serve hot or cold. It's a lively little number, but the sweeter dressing sauce tones things down a bit. The traditional accompaniment is home made coleslaw, but it's just as nice in a soft roll or with some potato wedges. |

Far too much faffing about for me ( a veggie who doesn't cook  ) apart from the fact that I don't have a slow cooker I had one years ago but hated it and gave it away. |

To be honest Auricula, (especially if you're just doing it for OH) you'd get just as good results using the spice rub (or a bought one) roasting it low & slow for about 5 or 6 hours (depending on the size of the joint) & using a bought jar of sauce. |

I just read the recipe and I really (badly) want to try this recipe. Is it okay if I just use the dry rub and buy a bottle of barbecue sauce then roast it slow and steady in the oven? I don't have slow cooker either.But it sounds just SO delicious.

I decided to do the BBQ sauce way and after a bit of a mess finding the right sauce (matter of taste only) I find that a small bottle for 1kg of meat is great...the juices mix beautifully with the sauce... |

I do mine in the crock pot. Crock Pot Pulled Pork1 5-6 lb pork shoulder or butt
1 T ground black pepper
1-2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 T chili powder
2 T ground cumin
2 T dark brown sugar
| 1 T dried oregano
4 T paprika
2 T salt
1 T granulated sugar
1 T ground white pepper
couple of drops of smoke flavoring (optional)
|
Rub above spice mixture over meat- wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 3 hrs or up to 3 days (optional). Place in cooker, add smoke flavoring if desired. Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low Heat for 16 to 20 hours, or high 6-8 hours, turning the roast over once half-way through the cooking time. Depending on how hot your low setting is on your slow cooker, you may or may not need the full 20 hours. When the meat easily shreds with a fork it is ready. Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred with two forks, adding drippings from the slow cooker as needed to moisten the meat. *Note: For this size of roast, you will need a 6-qt. slow cooker. If you have a smaller slow cooker, use a smaller roast and reduce the amount of the other ingredients accordingly. I usually reduce the salt. We watch our salt. We add our bbq sauce later. My son doesn't like sauce on his. I usually go with the low setting and its usually done before hand and I usually use a pork loin. My son doesn't like a lot of fat in it. Adjust the seasonings to suit your preferences. |

Hi blc and welcome to GWD..
Looks like a great recipe - not keen on a lot of fat myself...I bet it tastes marvellous after being marinated for a long time!!
