Smoky Applewood Pork Shoulder

Ingredients

  • 1 Open Prairie® Natural* Pork shoulder (8 lb)
  • 2 c apple cider for soaking wood chips
  • ½ c brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp smoky paprika
  • 2 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp cracked pepper
  • 1 Tbsp chipotle seasoning

Instructions

  1. Mix rub ingredients and rub onto pork roast. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight if possible.
  2. When ready to smoke, heat smoker to 250°F. Add applewood chips that have been soaked in the apple cider. Smoke roast for 1 hour per pound or until internal temperature reaches 180°F-190°F. Let roast rest for a few minutes before pulling. For a moist, tender roast, wrap roast in foil before cooking. For a tender roast with a hard crust, cook without foil.
  3. Serve pulled pork on slider buns with apple slaw.

Pairings

Pair with a pinot noir wine that has a crisp acidity and medium tannin levels. Or, try a Belgian style pale ale that is fruity and malty, with a hint of smokiness.
