I served this with Garlic-buttered potato rolls warmed, coleslaw, potato salad, beans and corn for my family gathering, i also made steak fries with a creamy ranch dressing in squeeze bottle, everything was devoured and i was asked for the pork and sauce recipe.

"I like it spicy! I actually added a spice called "northwoods fire" by Penzeys Spices. OMG delicious! I didn't use paprika or cumin just NWF, salt, garlic pepper, a little cayenne pepper and a decent amount of chili pepper and salt. " - Janaynay

    The best I have ever had.

    This Is AMAZING!!! Very tender and flavorful. I am Highly impressed and this is from someone from the south where the type of BBQ you prefer, whether tomato or vinegar based, is fight'in words. This isn't really BBQ but genuine 'pulled pork' as the name implies. A great (new way perhaps) to prepare any type of pork appropriate for pulling. In my case I roasted in the oven “boneless pork rib ends”, which are 6' hunks of pork, fat and all, sold inexpensively in 4 pound bags at my local grocery store. I followed the directions exactly with the exception of a few necessary substitutions and a slight reduction in baking time due to the smaller pieces of pork. I reduced the amount of black pepper due to the reviews (as well as a few of the spicier spices…just a little reduction) and because of some missing paprika used primarily chili powder and Cajun seasoning, with a little cayenne, cumin, and a tiny bit of curry in its place. No exact measurements… just instinct. Goes to show that this recipe works even if muddled a bit. Due to sqrishka’s review I also increased the mustard for the crust affect, and because I would normally have used Hungarian Paprika increased the sugar by a pinch or two. It marinated for 24 hours and baked uncovered for almost 6 hours, basted occasionally with the drippings. I ended up with pork that was falling apart; complete with that flavorful crust I was hoping for. If the drippings are poured over the pulled pork and eaten immediately thereafter it does not even need sauce. In time it can dry out some so use BBQ sauce or create or doctor some of your own. This has wonderful flavor on its own so don’t cover it up. I recommend something vinegar based. This one is a keeper whether you eat it with a fork, on a bun, with sauce, or without. Easy, inexpensive, delicious. What more could you want?

    my previous review didn't have a rating. it should be 5 stars!

    thought this was a very solid pulled pork recipe. i added a bit more cayenne pepper (to my taste) and thought it was just fine.

    i also was running a little short on cooking time and decided to cut my roast in 1/2 and try it in the oven and in the crock pot. both cooked in about 8 hours and the crock pot was much juicier and tastier (as expected).

    the uncovered oven roast was starting to dry out (probably because of it's smaller size) so i added a can of beer to keep it in shape. over it was fine and i mixed in a little bbq sauce to help loosen up the pork when i turned the oven off to let it cool down.

    both dishes were great! thanks for the recipe!

    Waaaay too much pepper and salt. Couldn't even eat it and my husband was racing to bathroom with flames from bottom end. Will look for a new pork recipe.

    Great recipe! Needed to cut the pepper down by half ( I loved it but family said it was a bit much).

    My husband keeps asking for this dish!

    I'll back off on the pepper next time around. Aside from that, it was amazing.

    This has absolutely amazing flavor, and it is sooo easy to make. My husband told me that we will be having this monthly, and I agree...I would not change anything about this recipe. I made it in my slow cooker.
