Legendary Cheerwine Pulled Pork
The fifth step to this recipe is pile meat high, add sweet sauce, and stuff your face!
Ingredients
- 5 Lbs. Boston (Pork) Butt
- Hamburger Buns
- 2 Cups Cheerwine® Soft Drink
- Cackalacky® Cheerwine® Sweet Sauce
Directions
Cut up the pork. Cut off a lot of the thick fat layer, remove the bone, and cut into smaller pieces (around 2-4 inches in thickness). It is way easier to cut it off and do the time in the beginning when you can still see a noticeable color difference between fat and meat in the uncooked pieces. Add Cheerwine. Add 2 cups of Cheerwine and pour it over the meat. The soda breaks down the fibers of the meat and adding the Cheerwine gave it a slightly cherry sweet taste! (Check out the awesome sound adding that to the meat makes!) Slow cook for 8 hours. There is no need to stir or even open the lid during that time. Just walk by, peer through the glass, and start salivating. Drain some of the fat and add Sweet Sauce. Leave some fat or the pork will become too dry. But if you don’t drain some of it, it will dilute the sauce. There’s no exact science here just do what feels right. Add about half the 16 Oz jar of sauce into the meat and stirred. The sauce is crazy red in color and the taste is so good. Not spicy at all but bold in flavor.
