Pulled pork
-
Injection
3/4 Cup Apple Juice
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup White Sugar
1/4 Cup Salt
2 TBL Worcestershire Sauce
Put a little of your rub in as well -
Anyone have a good recipe for smoking pork butts for pulled pork that uses apple juice in the brine? My son graduates this year and I’m doing some for his party. My Dad always used apple juice but I dont know what else. He never wrote out his recipes, and he passed away before I could get them all from him. I’m sure I can figure out something, but a little help would be appreciated.
kyle I have brined & injected, using Pa’s Black Bull, and then spritzed with apple juice and malt vinegar or apple cider vinegar to get a sweet/sour on the bark. It comes out great and usually not much leftover!

I do 1part vinegar, 1part soy sauce, 1part real apple juice, not the drink. Injection, and also use as a mop during smoke / cook. or just inject and pre lather with cheap mustard and your favorite rub. Then mop or spray after 3hrs every 40mins or so… Finished temp apx 201* for pulled pork

Pulled Pork I believe is one of The most labor intensive items that one can do THAT is THE most forgiving! Don’t sweat it, inject away in you wish, rub it down and rub it good till it gives you the “Wooseys”! (Remember that line from a few, ok many Novembers ago?)
Pulled pork is easy just takes time and don’t second guess your self when it goes into the stall phase!“Steady as she goes at the helm”. I have a write up if you wish to see it. let me know.
Mine is at least 16 hours start to finish. jm2c’s

@dennyo thanks. I have smoked them before, but my dad did the prep work on them. We would have meals at our town hall and feed the older folks in the neighborhood. Always a big success. I just wanted to try and get something close to his, and the only thing I know he used for sure was apple juice. Just looking for ideas from the community here.

I use apple juice for spritzing and a bit in the foil before wrapping.

@dennyo I’m guessing that’s what gives it some sweetness. Do you inject it too or no. Thanks for the info
hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

We make them all the time. Drop a few apples in the grinder and strain through cheesecloth for injector. Pomp them up with all they’ll hold. Cover with SPG and spritz with !/2 and !/2 cider vinegar and water every 40-45 minutes. Haven’t had a bad one yet.

@dennyo For the most part, I agree. When I go to a new BBQ joint, I always try the pork first. If you can’t make a good (not even great, just good) pulled pork, I cannot trust that you can do the other proteins correctly.
That said, while good pulled pork is easy, great is much more difficult, imo, than great ribs, or chicken. I think it’s a surface area issue, and the fact that many times it can be a touch mushy if you go too far. Great pulled pork is something to be super proud of.
101’s going to be a bit stringy don’t ya think? LOL
