Pork Shoulder Barbecue Recipes

Steps:

• Soak your hickory chips for at least 8 hours.
• Place the charcoal on one side of the grill, place a pan of water on the other side (under the grilling rack). Fire up the coals, and spread them out once they are white and ashy (about 20 minutes). Place your grilling rack on the grill, and let it sit for about 5 minutes covered.
• While the charcoal is getting hot, saute the onion and garlic in butter in a medium saucepan until tender. Stir in the brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, water, Worcestershire sauce, lemon rind, lemon juice, hot sauce and chili powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove sauce from heat.
• Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, making sure it doesn't touch bone or fat. I usually just insert the thermometer after it has cooked a while to check for doneness. Place the meat (fat side up) on the grill over the pan of water (this will keep your meat moist). Toss some hickory chips over the charcoal to create some great smoke. Cover with the lid, and make sure the vents are open over the meat to draw the heat and smoke towards the meat. Cook over low coals for 3 hours, turning the roast halfway through the cooking time. You will need to add charcoal and hickory chips about every 30-40 minutes to keep the fire and smoke going. I slip them in the side and flick them over to the active charcoal with a tong! After cooking for 3 hours, baste the roast with the sauce. Cover and cook an additional hour or until the thermometer registers 160 degrees. Baste frequently with the sauce.
• Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
• Serve sliced with potato salad or cole slaw, or you can put it on sandwiches.

Steps:

• Combine dry rub ingredients and rub all over pork shoulder. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Combine ingredients for basting sauce and mix thoroughtly; cover and refrigerate overnight to blend flavors.
• Preheat oven to 250. Place pork shoulder in roaster pan with a rack underneath. Brush some of the basting sauce over pork. Cook for 8-9 hours or until pork falls apart, basting every hour.
• Meanwhile, combine barbeque sauce ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Serve with pork.
• It would be great served on buns with the sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, olive oil, and mustard.
• Rub seasoning mixture on all sides of the pork roast.
• Place a rack inside a roasting pan and place roast covered in rub on top of the rack.
• Cook uncovered roast in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top starts to slightly brown.
• Remove roast from oven and lower heat to 240 degrees.
• Pour chicken broth and liquid smoke over roast and add vegetables on top and around roast.
• Make a tent out of aluminum foil to put over the roast and return to the oven. Let the pork cook for 2 hours uninterrupted, but then start checking every hour or so and baste the roast with liquids from the bottom of the pan. Add more chicken broth to the pan if needed (you want liquid in the bottom the whole time so that the roast doesn't dry out).
• The cook time will vary based on the size of your roast and your oven, so that's why it's recommended to start checking and basting your roast hourly. As a guideline, here are some cooking times:4 lb roast: 3.5 - 5 hours5 lb roast: 4 - 5.5 hours6 lb roast: 4.5 - 6 hoursThe roast is done cooking when the internal temperature somewhere between 175-180 degrees.
• Remove the roast from the oven, but keep the aluminum foil tent on top and let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes.
• Slice or shred the pork (it should almost be falling apart at this point) and then drizzle with some of the pan juices.
• We love to serve it with some type of potatoes, corn bread casserole, and a vegetable. Enjoy!

Steps:

• The day before, use a very sharp knife to cut the skin away from the pork, being careful to leave the fat attached to the meat (or ask your butcher to do this). If not done already, score the skin in a criss-cross pattern, then pat dry with kitchen paper. Season the skin liberally with salt and put on a plate in the fridge, uncovered, to dry overnight.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the onions, bay, thyme, garlic and fennel seeds in a large flameproof casserole dish. Season the meat liberally, then nestle it into the tin. Pour over the cider, pop on the lid and cook in the oven for 2½ hrs. Remove from the oven and, once cooled slightly, place the pork on a tray or in a container. Pour the liquid into a jug, cover and put everything in the fridge to chill overnight.
• The next day, lift off any fat that has hardened on the surface of the braising liquid, then spoon it back into the dish with the vegetables. Add the vinegar, apples and sugar, and simmer for 1 hr. Leave to cool slightly, then remove the herbs and garlic. Blitz in a blender and taste for seasoning - you want a balance of sweet and sharp, so adjust the sugar and vinegar if you need to, then pour through a sieve to make a thick, pureéd ketchup.
• To reheat the pork and make the crackling, fire up the barbecue or heat the oven to its highest setting. If cooking outside, lay the crackling on the grates and cook, turning occasionally, until it is puffed up and golden, while the pork is on the other side of the barbecue, heating through and nicely browning. Leave to rest for 10 mins before bringing to the table and carving. If cooking in the oven, lay the crackling on a wire rack over a baking tray on the top shelf and cook until crisp, while the pork reheats and browns underneath. If necessary, turn on the grill while the pork rests to really crisp up the crackling.

Steps:

• In small bowl, whisk together sugar, tomato paste, mustard, vinegar, chile powder, hot pepper sauce, and salt. Set aside.
• In heavy, medium skillet over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add onion, pepper, jalapeño, and garlic, and sauté until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Scrape into slow cooker.
• Add pork cubes, bacon, tomatoes and their juices, and bay leaf and stir to combine. Pour sauce over mixture. Cover and cook on low until meat is very tender, 8 to 10 hours. Remove bay leaf and use fork to break up meat before serving on rolls.
