FALL-APART TENDER PORK BUTT ROAST (PULLED PORK)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rack slightly below the center of the oven.
• Place the pork in a casserole that is just large enough to hold it and has a lid.
• Sprinkle the roast on all sides with worcestershire sauce. Then press brown sugar coating on all sides of the pork. Pour the apple juice down the side of the casserole to the bottom, being sure not to drizzle it on the crusted meat. Cover tightly.
• Place the roast in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 200°F (95°C).
• Roast without opening the oven door for about 5 hours, until the meat is so tender that it pulls apart easily. If the meat does not pull apart easily, cover, and return to the oven and roast 30 minutes more. Check again, roast 30 minutes more as needed.
• Pull the meat apart and remove the bone. Stir the salt into the juices at the bottom of the pan. Serve meat in its delicious juice hot or at room temperature.
• Note: This can easily be done in a slow cooker. Set it on high for 30 minutes, then turn down the heat to low, and let it cook for most of the day or even overnight.
• You can also pour off most of the juice if preffered and stir in your favorite bbq sauce after shredding. Heat through in pot on the stove over medium-low heat.
• This should make about 12 sandwiches.

FALL APART BOSTON BUTT PORK ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• *** After a generous rub all over the entire roast, cover with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to marinate overnight! ***
• Variations: You can rub olive oil over your roast before adding spices to give it a bit more moisture, or use liquid smoke!
• Put a wire rack at the bottom of your large roasting pan, then place the Boston Butt Roast FAT SIDE UP on the rack, in the pan, and set on the counter.
• Preheat oven to 450° f, and let the roast come up to room temperature while the oven is preheating. Place roast UNCOVERED into your high temperature oven, and roast for a half hour. Then, turn it down to a 250° f oven temperature for the rest of the day.
• Turn the heat down to 250°f and let it roast uncovered till the exterior develops a "bark" or becomes dry and crispy, about 8 hours for a medium sized roast (about 6 pounds). Make sure the outside is good and CRUSTY... Most people think the "bark" or exterior of the roast is the best part, because that's where are the spices are!
• Then carefully remove roast from oven and completely wrap it in 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Return Boston Butt to the oven and roast at 250° till the internal temperature (at the deepest part of roast) reaches 200° f.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pork in pot with lid. Sprinkle pork heavily with Worcestershire sauce; turn it over and sprinkle other side heavily as well. Take handful of brown sugar and rub against meat to make a brown sugar crust. Repeat until meat is coated with sugar. Pour apple juice in bottom of pan, not over meat. Cover and place pot in oven. Reduce oven heat to 200 degrees; cook 4 hours, until meat literally falls apart when you try to lift it with a fork. Break meat apart a little and push it down into drippings. Sprinkle with salt. (Salt cannot be omitted; it is vital to bring out meat flavors.) Serve hot or at room temperature. Excellent with potato salad and baked beans. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
