Perfect Pulled Pork

Did I mention I spent a day at my parents house this summer pulling recipes out of magazines? They literally had a cabinet full they were cleaning out.  I have a whole folder of new recipes I want to try.

Last week, the commissary had pork roasts clearance "cook or freeze."  I bought one for under $4 and made the best pulled pork sandwiches using this rub recipe from the Kraft Food and Family magazine.  Jaelyn and Caden weren't too keen on it, but Allie LOVED it.  Dan and I had left-over sandwiches several days.

Perfect Pulled Pork

5 lb boneless pork butt shoulder
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp gralic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water
soft sandwich buns

Combine all seasonings in a small bowl and rub evenly over roast.  Place meat in a slow cooker.  Add water.  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours or until pork is very tender.

Place pork on large cutting board or platter and let rest for 10-15 minutes.  Pull, slice or chop to serve.  Serve in buns with barbecue sauce.

YUM!
