Pulled Pork on a Bun

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (1 kg) Johnston’s Pork Shoulder Blade Roast
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) Fresh Garlic, Chopped
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) Cracked Black Peppercorns
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Dried Tyme
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Cup (250 mL) Sweet Fruit Wine (or Apple Juice)
  • 1 Cup (250 mL) Prepared BBQ Sauce
  • 6 Kaiser or Egg Buns

Cooking Directions

  1. Mix together garlic, peppercorns, thyme, and mustard to form a paste; run into the pork shoulder and place it in a roasting pan or slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix wine (or juice) and BBQ sauce together; pour it over the pork. Cover roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil (or if using slow cooker, cover with lid).
  3. For oven, preheat to 350°F (180°C) and cook the pork for 30 minutes; then lower the temperature to 200°F (100°C) and keep cooking for 4 - 5 hours. Pork is done when very tender but not falling apart.
  4. Remove pork from oven and set aside to cool.
  5. Place the remaining liquid from the roasting pan/slow cooker into a small saucepan and heat on stovetop until it thickens into a glaze.
  6. Using two forks shred the pork and place it back into the roasting pan/slow cooker. Stir in the glaze; heating to desire temperature.
  7. Serve pulled pork on buns, with coleslaw on the side.
