CAROLINA CHOPPED BBQ RECIPES

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine the pork, garlic, vinegar and peppercorns and add enough water to cover. Bring liquid to a boil over moderately high heat, skimming the froth as it rises to the surface. Simmer, partially covered, for about three hours, or until very tender.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining the vinegar, pepper and salt in a covered container, shaking vigorously to blend.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove the pork from the Dutch oven, discarding the liquid. Place pork on the rack of a roasting pan, and baste thoroughly with the spicy sauce. Baste every 15 minutes or so, turning the meat after 1 1/2 hours. It should roast for a total of about three hours with constant basting, so it does not dry out. The fat should be crisp.
• Remove pork from the oven, chop very finely with a large knife, and sauce again. The mixture should be moist, but not soupy. Serve warm, with cole slaw and white bread.

Steps:

• Wash the Boston Butt under cold running water, pat dry with paper towels.
• Trim away any excess fat or loose pieces. Do not remove the bottom “fat cap” or skin layer.
• Cut out any veins if visible.
• Sprinkle on some of the Worcestershire Sauce
• Sprinkle on just a little of the Liquid Smoke, not too much.
• Rub these two liquids into the meat, getting under any flaps of meat as well.
• Spread a layer of mustard over the meat and rub it around to coat all sides.
• Sprinkle a light layer of dry rub all over the meat, pat it into the meat with your fingers.
• Wrap securely in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 250º.
• Remove meat from refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap.
• Place meat in foil lined shallow roasting pan and place in oven.
• After 4 hours, mop on some of the sauce recipe about once each hour until meat is done.
• Meat should reach internal temperature of 190º to be done. About 1 hour per pound of meat.
• Remove from oven, wrap tightly in foil, then wrap in a towel.
• Set aside on your counter or, place in cooler and, let rest for one hour.
• Pull the meat apart, chop if desired. Add vinegar sauce as desired.
• Enjoy!
