Little Red, my cast iron Dutch oven, is pretty much shelved for the summer months
except for pulled pork. Rub a pork shoulder with your favorite blend of spices (I use cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and freshly ground pepper) pop in a cast iron with a lid, and cook extra slow, about 18 hours at 175 degrees. The pork will seriously melt in your mouth. Top with your favorite BBQ sauce; quintessential American yum.
OH MY GOD! This sounds to die for...I made a apricot pulled pork last year, I may have to do it again...thanx for the insperation :)

My mouth is watering...
ReplyDeleteLooks unbelievably good.
ReplyDeletemmm. we just had pulled pork at work, but yours looks heavenly
ReplyDeleteThanks for that receipt; I have my mother's (maybe it's my grandmother's) cast iron. Didn't know I could go that low . . . I love using cast iron.
ReplyDeleteoh, how many pounds and bone in or boneless?
ReplyDeleteTut, it's about a 6 lb shoulder, bone in.
ReplyDeletethanks! May be on the menu when L comes back from Obie
ReplyDeleteOOoh, Willow! My mouth started watering when the picture came up. I think I need to go cook something...
ReplyDeleteYummy... Any leftovers?
ReplyDeleteJJRod'z
Never tried this, but looking at your photo, I will have to.
ReplyDeletei can't believe this...
ReplyDeletei almost never cook anymore,
but i made an apricot picnic fresh pok tonight.
it was deeelish.
your looks even better.
xx
yes!
ReplyDeleteI do love me some pulled pork...
where's the slaw? :)
Slow cooked is always brilliant. Very nice mate!
ReplyDeleteYum. I might even make it -- despite my proclivity toward the North Carolina vinegar-based pulled pork barbecue!
ReplyDeleteIt's just the thought of having the oven on for so long in this weather... Otherwise this sounds like my idea of HEAVEN.
ReplyDeleteOh damn that looks delish!
ReplyDeleteYum! That may be on the menu next weekend here - it's mid winter in New Zealand - perfect timing for a slooowww roast!
ReplyDeleteAh it needs roast potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding with it.
ReplyDeleteIt's got a beautiful bark on it, like it was smoked or on an open flame. Is that from the spice rub? It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteMmmm .... something smells good over here. Wasn't sure what pulled pork was and googled it....Oh Boston butt. Yum!
ReplyDeletedelicious, esp if someone else cooks it. i dont think i'd have the patience.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to increase my calorie intake over the internet?
ReplyDeleteSynchronicity once again! I made spareribs in my slow cooker yesterday. I saw two beautiful pieces and couldn't resist, but we had so much to do, I pulled down the crock pot, a wonderful bottle of smokey BBQ sauce and 8+ hours later, a wonderful summer supper. I think I have a pork roast in the freezer from my last pulled pork episode. I'll be making coleslaw tonight!
ReplyDeleteMAS, yes, the "bark" was fabulous. It's partly from the rub, but mostly just from the extra long, slow cook time.
ReplyDeleteI made fresh green bean salad to go with, instead of coleslaw. It was a lovely change.
ReplyDeleteoh my, you make it sound so easy and look so delicious! must try!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful - never heard of it before.
ReplyDeletePulled Apricot Pork (caps intended) it IS...but next Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You are wonderful to share .
Wow!!! Yum-yum!
ReplyDeleteI had never even heard of pulled pork until this summer
ReplyDeleteand now I LOVE it.
What a recipe --I will try it immediately
oxoxo
One of my favorite sandwiches - pulled pork.
ReplyDeleteMighty fine!
ReplyDeleteI always cook this in the slow cooker ...maybe I'll try it this way next time it looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds to be a must. 18 hours? Wow! Alan wants Yorkshire Pud with it?????? It's pork! But those Yorkshire men will eat YP with anything including syrup!
ReplyDeleteOMG that looks picture perfect. I can only imagine how good it tastes..and I don;t generally even eat pork. LOL
