Sweet & Spicy Pulled Pork:


3-4   -      Pounds      Pork Roast, (Shoulder or Picnic Roast is best)

2      -       Cups         Brown Sugar

1      -       Cup           Hot Sauce, (Frank's Red Hot, or any other Buffalo Style sauce)

1      -        Cup           Water

1      -         T.             Granulated garlic

                                   Salt & Pepper (To Taste)

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Season pork roast with garlic, salt and pepper.  Allow to sit on baking pan for 5  minutes at room temperature to absorb seasoning.
3. Bake pork roast until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.  (Approximately 40-50 minutes)
4. Remove from oven and place into baking dish, or casserole pan.
5. Mix brown sugar and hot sauce together until brown sugar is mostly dissolved.  Pour over pork roast.
6. Lower oven temperature to 300 degrees, pour water into bottom of baking dish.  Cover pork roast tightly with foil and place back into oven for 90 minutes.
7. Remove pork from oven and carefully open foil.  With a fork, test roast and see if meat will easily pull apart.  If not, cover with foil and continue roasting at 300 degrees until meat easily pulls apart into large chunks.
8. Pull cooked roast apart into large chunks, toss with remaining liquids from baking dish. 
9. Serve on a bun, or eat as quick as you can with your paws....

-This would also work very well in a crock-pot.  High heat for 3-4 hours.
