We had been in dire need of a new recipe. As you will see in subsequent posts we eat a lot of chicken, and have found many uses for it. We needed a new protein, and pork was a great option. As we were grazing at Costco one day we ate some pretty great pulled pork. We began to think that we could replicate it, and thus the quest began. We bought a side of Boston Butt/Pork Butt on sale for $1.99/lb. The pork weight (prior to cooking) was 2.5 lbs. The seasoning for this is so simple you will think it isn't possible for it to be so good. Just trust me. These measurements are estimates only, feel free to change the amounts as you wish.
1 1/2 Tbs Brown Sugar
1 Tbs Coarse salt
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Black Pepper
That's it. Rub the butt the night before and put the frozen pork in the fridge. The salt will help draw out some of the moisture which otherwise would create to much juice in the crock pot.(This is not to be done, however, when seasoning red meat as it will be far to dry.) Put in crock pot. Cook on low for 5-8 hours. The extra time won't hurt it at all. Shred (REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE BONE!) and put some of your favorite BBQ sauce in it. If you take some out before applying the BBQ sauce, this is also a great meat for Tacos. Serve on a toasted bun of your choice and enjoy!
