Pulled Pork

I made this yesterday. Good stuff, and easy too; it just sits in the slow-cooker all day. Would go very good with "The Bomb Potatoes".

Old South Pulled Pork
Serves 8.
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. cracked black peppercorns (I use ground pepper)
  • 1 c. tomato-based chili sauce (I use tomato sauce ? add extra chili powder and red pepper)
  • 1/4 c. brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 c. cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. liquid smoke (I have never actually added this)
  • I also add some cooking wine, or anything else that might be good
  • 1 boneless pork shoulder (about 3 lb.), fat trimmed
Preparation
  1. Heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, cook until soft. Add garlic, chili powder, pepper. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, liquid smoke. Stir, bring to a boil.
  2. Place pork in slow cooker stoneware and pour sauce over. Cover, cook on low setting 10 to 12 hours or on high 6 hours, until pork is falling apart. Transfer to cutting board and pull meat apart in shreds. Return to sauce and keep warm.
