We love BBQ and when the mood hits us, we love this SIMPLE and EASY pulled pork recipe that I just made up awhile back and seems to please!

I get a nice sized pork sirloin roast. They are usually pretty reasonable in price. I actually look for one that is a little more on the fatty side because it really seems to add tenderness to the pork. Pop it in a crockpot with a little bit of water, and 2 cups of apple juice and a little bit of garlic powder and onion flakes. Cook on slow for as long as you can stand it. I usually let mine go ALL day long, a good 10-12 hours and then turn it off and let it cool.

Save the liquid, you’ll need a little bit later on.

Pull the roast when it’s cool enough to cut and pull. And it should just fall apart in your hands nearly. Resist the urge to nibble because it’s that good. I chop and pull the pieces off and sort out any fatty bits for Gypsy. She loves this step. Some folks just pull it apart, but I do a little of both. Chop and pull. You want the pork meat to be bite sized and ready for the saucing.

Throw it all back in the crock pot and then add a WHOLE smallish bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. We like a sweeter taste, so tend to use a honey BBQ sauce. Mix that in. I usually add a little honey as well, and will use a bit of the cooking juices to thin it out a bit. Since you’re going to reheat it all in the crock pot you don’t want to start out tooooo dry or it will burn. You want it to be a little bit sloppy, like a thick cream soup.

Put the crock pot on low and simmer another 5 or 6 hours. I usually will make this in a two day stretch. Cook the roast one day, let it chill in the frig and then get it going again in the morning on the second day. Stir every so often to make sure it doesn’t get too dry, burning off the liquid. When it’s all done, you’ll know. Serve on buns and you have some BBQ heaven right there in your own little kitchen.

I usually will put a little apple juice in my BBQ bottle and swish it around good to add every little delicious drop of the stuff to the mix… just a little tip I suppose. Enjoy!!!
