Slow Cooker Pulled Pork in the Morning
I've never done pulled pork, and few dishes in my new slow cooker. I
don't know why I picked it this dish, but I did. Picked up a 4-lb pork
shoulder and snooped on the net for recipes.
Holy moly, can this be made every conceivable way! Some include only a
can of ginger ale/Dr. Pepper and a bottle of BBQ sauce. The end. Some
have long lists of tsp of this and Tbs of that. Some have a cup of
broth or 1/2 cup vinegar or wine and other such: fluids. Some with
little fluids.
I saw one with a cup of sake, a cup of soy and a cup of sugar among
it's armaments. I have a 1/2 bottle of good red wine left over from
last night so it's available.
I've been trying to work through a recipe by merging/purging the ones
I've pulled from the net but don't feel super confident. I don't want
a sugary version, and I don't want it to be a totally BBQ sauce item:
There are only two of us so I'll be freezing the vast majority of it,
and thawing some to enhance chili and/or Scandinavian dishes that tend
to call for "left-over meat". So I don't want it BBQ sauce forward.
In any case: Anyone have recommendations for a pulled pork dish that
they are fans for. Any generic or specific pointers appreciated. I'm
starting tomorrow (Oct 27, 2015).
