Unfortunately the same can't be said for running as I have been in surgical boots for most of the spring and have just been cleared for running. Now I just have to be patient and slowly build up my mileage. Here is a picture of my sweet surgical boots. I was quite the fashionista in these boots as you can imagine. I looked like I was wearing snowboots..which would have been great if I lived in Jackson Hole or Colorado but I live in Chicago where the biggest uphill climbs are our speedbumps.
So I am back and I want to share with you my experience with making pulled pork. I loved pulled pork and I was shocked and happy to find out how easy it is to make! If you have a slow cooker you can just let this cook all day and it is so moist and tender when you are ready to eat.
I found this recipe on CL but I only used the recipe for the rub on the pork. I found the recipe for the BBQ that was included well..not that great, so we just used store bought BBQ sauce.
Ingredients for the rub:
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
You will need a boneless pork shoulder that is about 5 lbs.
To prepare pork, combine first 8 ingredients in a small bowl.
Rub sugar mixture evenly over pork. Let pork stand at room temperature 1 hour.
We then seared the pork in the pan, just enough that all sides of the pork are brown. We then placed the pork in the crock pot with about 2 cups water and 1 cup vinegar and cooked it on low for 8 hours. Depending how much time you have, if you want to cook it in less time, you can cook it on high for the first hour or two, and then turn it back down to low. It should be ready in about 4-6 hours then.
After the pork has been cooked for at least six hours, take the pork out and shred pork. Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce.
