NOTES Pork: For pulled pork, the standard rule of thumb
is one-third to one-half pound of meat per person. When
cooked and shredded, pork shoulder will lose around 30
percent of its weight. Use pork shoulder (also known as
boston butt or pork butt).
Yield: 2-4 people per pound of meat

MMMMM
Oh I use my big one all the time. In fact, it's 8quart I believe.
making stock takes a lot of room and so do whole pork shoulders (bone
in) or pork butts (bone in).
I had an 8-quart that I gave to my sister-in-law. I already had a rice
cooker, an electric pressure cooker, and a selection of crock-pots from
1 1/2 qt to the big "casserole" crock-pot. Some are even Crock-Pot brand.
Favorite way for making pulled pork here. Electrical costs are
virtually nil and it's a minimal muss way to get 8-12lbs pulled pork
for cost of meat and about 25cents energy.
Method really easy. Unwrap frozen meat. Put in crockpot the add a
splash of vinegar (2-3 TB) and maybe 1 TB soy sauce. Turn on and
cover. Flip meat every 2-3 hours. It's done when you can't flip it without it falling off the bones.
Decant it (I normally toss the liquid) and remove all bones then pck
some away to the freezer in family sized amounts and sauce the rest and reheat for BBQ Crockpot Pork. I normally send 4 lbs or so to Maria who makes Carnitas and other Mexican things of it. BTW, add NO liquid
other than what is listed above. It will actually make it palid
tasting.
I do mine in the oven - and save the fat, skin, and bone for other use.
I sucky bag the leftovers in me-sized portions and pop them into the
freezer for future reference.

Title: Mom & Pop Pulled Pork (Nutzie's Pulled Pork)
Categories: Pork, Bbq, Herbs, Vegetables, Sauces
Yield: 11 Servings
6 lb Pork butt; bone-in
1 1/2 ts Coarse salt
1 ts Black pepper
3 c Chicken or beef broth
1 tb Liquid smoke
4 c Barbecue sauce; below (opt)
1/2 c Cider vinegar; more to taste
Sliced soft rolls; toasted
Coleslaw & pickles; (opt)
MMMMM-----------------------HOMEMADE SAUCE----------------------------
2 tb Oil
1 1/2 c Chopped onions
2 tb Fine chopped garlic
4 c Heinz ketchup
1/2 c Cider vinegar
1/4 c Firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 c Honey
1/4 c Tomato paste
3 tb Worcestershire sauce
2 tb Dijon mustard
1 tb Chilli spice mix
Coarse salt & black pepper
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion
and garlic & cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly
softened, about 3 minutes. Add ketchup, vinegar, brown
sugar, honey, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce,
mustard, and chilli spice. Season with salt and pepper,
stir well and let simmer over medium-low heat until
flavors meld, about 15 minutes.
If you like your sauce a bit chunky from the chopped
onions, it's ready to go. If you like it smooth, let
cool, then puree in a food processor.
MAKE THE PORK: Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
Place pork butt in a large pot with a lid. Season with
salt and pepper, to taste. Pour broth around pork until
it covers about one quarter of the meat. Add liquid
smoke. Cover pot and put in oven.
Bake pork until internal temp registers 190ºF/88ºC on an
instant-read thermometer and meat is falling apart, 3 1/2
to 4 1/2 hours. Use a fork to pull at pork, and make sure
it comes apart easily. Remove pork butt from oven and let
it sit in pot 15-20 minutes. Remove from pot, and save
bone for Rover. Pour off cooking liquid. Cut fatty parts
off meat, then use two forks or your fingers to shred
meat into small pieces.
Place shredded pork in a large bowl.
Warm barbecue sauce in a small pot over medium heat. Mix
shredded meat w/barbecue sauce & vinegar until evenly
coated. Taste. If pork could use a bit more zing, add
more vinegar, to taste. Season with additional salt and
pepper.
Pile pulled pork onto rolls, or serve it plain with
coleslaw and pickles.
UDD NOTES: Reserve the pork rind/skin for chicharrones.
Save the bone for making stock or letting your dog have
a treat. Pulled pork may also be used in carnitas or
any other non-barbeque laced application you can think
of. ENKOY!!!
Serves 10 - 12
