I have made pulled pork before, with Food Network recipes. Most braised the pork with cider or other vinegar liquid. I didn't like the vinegar, so I chose this recipe. Wow, by comparison it was so dry. Yuck. I would recommend putting the pork in a large dutch oven and adding some liquid, maybe just water. It makes for a quicker cook (about 4 hours for 3-4 lbs. And, the meat will be moist.
Emeril has never disappointed me before, but he did with this recipe.

The entire recipe worked for me. I was happy to get the recipe for Emeril's ESSENCE. The seasoning is pretty pricey in the supermarket. Now I have a batch of my own.
The meat was delicious, tender and moist. I probably used more of the Essence than the recipe called for since I used it as a rub on the entire pork butt.
And the barbque sauce was delish! I did cook the pork for an extra hour, lowering the temp to 200 degrees. I had a seven pound pork pernil. Other than that; I followed the recipe carefully. I sliced parts of the meat and made a pork gravy. Served it with rice and creamed corm and southern green beans for dinner the first night. I got raves all around.
The second night, I served the pulled pork sandwiches with cole slaw and the bbq sauce and it was another home run with my family. I can't wait for warm weather to try it on the outdoor grill. I felt like a Southern cook, gone wild...in a good way!

Delicious, My teens especially loved the BBQ Sauce. They had the left over sauce all week with every dish. I had to cook a little longer than indicated, but never the less very good dish.

Haven't made the pulled pork part of this recipe, but this is the only bbq sauce recipe I use for my pork ribs, which I cook in the slow cooker. I find that before I put the sauce in the slow cooker it is on the vinegary side, but after it's been in there for a few hours with the ribs it is pure perfection. It's not like store-bought bbq sauce which is super thick and overly sweet, and that's what I love about it! It really enhances the flavor of the pork rather than overtaking it. I recommend this sauce to everyone!

I just had to comment. Made this recipe yesterday for a Superbowl gathering (along with Tyler Forence's cole slaw and Paula Deen's blue cheese potato salad and all I can say is WOW! Fairly easy to make. I wasn't sure about the sauce while making it because the smell (and taste of vinegar seemed strong but mixed with the pork-it was crazy good and had a nice kick. Along with a ice cold beer it was perfection.

I made this bbq sauce and put it onto baked chicken breasts. Pulled the meat apart and made sandwiches. It was excellent. Everyone devoured the sauce!

We loved this! After pulling the pork and separating the fat from the drippings, I added the juices back to the pulled pork and it was amazing. Everyone liked the sauce just fine, but agreed that the pork didn't need it. It was flavorful and juicy. Thanks Emeril!

Totaly delicious! I find many Bbq sauces too sweet but this one is spot on. Wonderful depth of flavor. I substituted the cayenne for chipotle & doubled the amount for extra zing. Fantastic recipie thanks Emeril.

Delicious. I rubbed the creole blend over the shoulder roast and let it sit in the fridge overnight and then seared it off before slow cooking it on low for 6 hours. The sauce has an excellent zing. I will cut the onions even smaller for the next batch.
My mother tried the pork and sauce tonight and absolutely loved it. She immediately asked for the recipe. Thanks again Emeril!
