CROCK POT SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST BBQ RECIPE

Hello Friends,

I have always heard how delicious pork barbeque sandwiches were
when using a Pork Picnic roast.
If you are like me, there are several cuts of meat that are available at the store that you have never tried because you either have not been able to afford it, or didn't buy it simply because you didn't know how to fix it.

A local store had a sale on pork roasts so incredible cheap, mmm,
I mean so inexpensive I bought a small one.
I am about to try and make my first slow cooker bbq sandwiches.
With money being so tight, I needed to find a sure and safe way to cook the meat.
We don't waste a thing. Well, once I bought a turkey that ended up as a major catfeast.
You can Read about My turkey disaster here.


Back to talking Pork BBQ.
I looked up the moderately priced Picnic Roast, here is what I found...

"this roast is a fresh cut that comes from the shoulder primal cut and it contains more fat than the blade Boston roast. A well trimmed roast provides a very rich flavor when roasted. Often this cut is smoked and then it is referred to as a picnic ham, although it is not a true ham. This cut is economically priced."


Here is my recipe version for Pork bbq.
It is a compilation of about 4 different recipes, I took out what we don't like.
Things like: sherry, red wine vinegar, chopped celery, bermuda onions, etc...
you get the idea.

I also wanted to use what we had on hand. I had already spent my grocery budget for this month. I have also been wanting to experiment with some peach preserves. If grape jelly can make lil smokies so good, why can't peach make bbq sandwiches sweeeeeeet and delicious.

computer is sooooo slow and it takes a bit for pages to load.
Here is a re-post...



CREAMY DELI COLESLAW
recipe: kentuckycook

1 lb of shredded cabbage / carrots
( Can use one 16 oz bag of prepackaged classic cole slaw )
2 Tablespoons milk
1/8 tsp reg salt
1/8 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp sugar or splenda
1 Tablespoon White vinegar
1/2 + Cup mayonaise

In a bowl mix milk, salt, sugar & vinegar.
Mix well. Add mayo.
Slowly add in shredded cabbage mixture.
We like Creamy Cole Slaw
so we add additional mayo.

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.

U P D A T E

The roast in the crock pot / slow cooker is done.
It smells absolutely wonderful !
I am pulling the meat off of the bone and it
makes your mouth water.
All of the bones are out and I am going to let it simmer on low for
a few more minutes.
I served it open faced on sandwich buns...
