Recipe submitted by jackicam

I first ate this in a little diner in Mississipi and I fell in love. It's smokey and succulent with a tangy BBQ sauce through it. Traditionally it's eaten on a bun with coleslaw. Washed down with a beer - you can't beat that...

Serves 8

Ingredients

1 pork shoulder or a 2kg pork scotch fillet roasting piece
Rub:
1 1/2 tbsp black pepper.
1 1/2 tbsp dark brown sugar.

I've just made the recipe and the only change that I made was that I used malt vinegar, only because I didn't have any cider vinegar in the house. It was delicious.

Hi Jackie, made the pulled pork yesterday, absolutely lovely, thought after about 3 hours it looked overcooked and dry, also wasn't sure on the taste of the BBQ sauce, but had faith in your recipe after making your custard tart, it came together perfectly in the end, thanks a lot, not sure which one of your recipes to try next. Love Kim

I've had this in the States and it was simply awesome ! However, I think it is alot of trouble to go to with the long cooking-period. Therefore , I will chalk it up to experience and remember the occasion with fondness and the hamburger as the best I've ever had...
