Description

Ingredients

• 1 5-7 pound pork roast, preferably shoulder or Boston butt
• 3 TBS paprika (smoked, if you have it)
• 1 TBS garlic powder
• 1 TBS brown sugar
• 1 TBS dry mustard
• 3 TBS course Kosher salt
• Apple juice or beer
• 2 cans of Root Beer (not diet!)
• 1 12oz jar of Chili Sauce
• 1 head of cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 jalapeño, seeds removed & finely chopped
• 1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, grated
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ⅔ cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 500F.
• Mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt together in a small bowl.
• Wash and dry the pork butt and then cover with the dry rub mixture.
• Let the pork butt marinate for as long as you have time for — as little as 1 hour or overnight — covered in the refrigerator.
• Cover the bottom of a large roasting pan with apple juice or beer.
• Put the pork butt in the roasting pan and cook uncovered for about 20 minutes at 500F.
• Take the pork out of the oven. Turn the oven down to 300F.
• Tightly cover the pork.
• Bake for about 6 hours.
• Basically, roast the pork until it’s falling apart.
• Shred with two forks.
• Sauce: Combine the Root Beer and Chili Sauce and bring to boil. Simmer until the liquid reduces into a magical thick sauce.
• Combine the shredded cabbage, chopped jalapeño, chopped onions, and grated carrots in a large serving bowl.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the dressing ingredients, bring to a boil, and simmer until the sugar is dissolved.
• Pour the dressing over the vegetables, toss well, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• It gets better the longer it sits in the dressing.
