Well it is time for me to fire up the BBQ.
Tomorrow I will BBQ 21 pounds of pork shoulder. This year I will be using mesquite for the smoke.
Today I will prep the meat by applying the rub. Just a basic recipe nothing fancy:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sweet paprika
3 tbsp black pepper
3 tbsp coarse salt
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp celery seeds
1 tsp cayenne pepper
once the meat is one the smoke I will mop the meat every hour with apple juice. The meat should be ready in about eight hours if I keep the heat around 250f.
This year I will be serving three different sauces to go with the pork. For the less adventurous there will be some sweet baby rays.
For the more traditional folks I will be making a apple cider vinegar sauce:
2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
4 tsp coarse salt
1 tbsp hot sauce (I will be using a habanera sauce) for those who can't take the heat, use tabasco.
2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp black pepper
My wife wanted to try something a bit more unusual so she is making a pineapple bbq sauce:
1 med. onion, chopped
2 tbsp. oil
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 c. water
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1 (8 1/4 oz.) can crushed pineapple
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. ginger
Saute onion in oil. Add tomato sauce, water, sugar, salt, and Tabasco sauce; mix well. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add crushed pineapple, brown sugar, vinegar, and ginger; mix well. Simmer 15 minutes.
It will be a long day filled with smoke, food and family.
