Ah ha, and there you are 17 at the Botanical Gardens in Norfolk. Thank for all of the great recipes! Allen V., Norfolk Resident.
This recipe is bulletproof. Making it for the second time tonight. Dont even bother with another recipe, this is perfect. Thanks for sharing!
How long do I cook it if I have an 8 lb pork roast?
Sounds great. Could sweet soda be replaced with beer?
Made this today with a pork loin, added Montreal Chicken Spice mix for the rub and also injected it at the beginning with the mixture. Turned out delicious, will be making again for sure!
Thanks
I use gingerale sometimes & add a splash of worcestershire sauce.. if there are leftovers, i use the bbq pork and coleslaw for tacos in hot corn tortillas .
Thank you for this great recipe! Made it for a large group (doubled the recipe) and they all raved about how delicious it was. Got this one in my favorites!
MADE THIS USING YOUR PORK RUB RECIPE – OUTSTANDING!!
I made this recipe last week and it was amazing! I have a newborn at home, so cooking time is VERY limited, and it was extremely nice to be able to throw this in the slow cooker and forget about it the rest of the day! My husband loved it too, so I will definitely be adding this to our "keeper" list. Thanks for helping this new mama out!
Tried this yesterday and used your seasoning rub. The house smelled wonderful all day! The hubby loved it and ate two large sandwiches with potato salad that I whipped up. Great recipe! We bought a 9 lb pork butt and cut it into so we will be ready to make this again. Can't wait to try more of your recipes:)
Can’t wait to prepare this dish for my family.
Hope you all love it Marcelle!
Going to be making this for a work function next week and this sounds amazing, will let you know how everyone liked it…….
Thanks Peggy!
Wow that was awesome!. I made your rub exactly as detailed and I did add in a bottle of BBQ sauce after pulling the pork apart and draining off the liquid and it was so yummy!! .
YES!! Love hearing that and so happy you liked the rub too! Thank you Joanna!
This is one of my favorite go-to recipes! I want to make it tomorrow but won’t have time to cook 8-10 hours. Can I cook it on high for 4-6 hours?
So happy to hear that Jackie!! Honestly, I don’t recommend cooking on high. Pork shoulder is a pretty tough cut of meat. By cooking it low and slow, it helps to really make the meat nice and tender. Cooking it too quickly and you won’t be able to shred it. I’m sorry!
