Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 cups chicken stock or water
  • 1 (3 pound) boneless pork butt
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
  • 8 to 12 soft buns with sesame seeds
  • Pickled Jalapenos, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the grill to medium heat (the grill should maintain a constant temperature of 350 degrees F). Place a drip pan filled half-way with the chicken stock on the briquettes. Season the pork butt with salt and pepper and place on the grates of the grill over the drip pan. Close the cover of the grill and let the pork cook for 1 hour. Turn the pork over and continue grilling for 2 to 3 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. More chicken stock may be needed to refill the drip pan during grilling. Remove the pork from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. When it is cool enough to handle, shred the pork into strands with your fingers. Add the shredded pork to the BBQ Sauce and serve on sandwich buns with the Pickled Jalapenos.

BBQ Sauce:

Heat oil in a medium saucepan on the grates of the grill. Add the onion and jalapeno and cook until soft. Add the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes and juices, vinegar, honey, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce, and cook until the sugar has completely melted and the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened. Season with salt, to taste. Add the shredded pork and stir to coat.

Pickled Jalapenos:

Special equipment: 1 (8-ounce) jar

Combine the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, seeds, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Let boil for 2 minutes, and then remove from the heat and let sit until cooled to room temperature.

Place the jalapenos, stem side up, into the jar and pour enough cooled vinegar mixture over them to cover. Pack the cilantro sprigs into the jar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 4 days.

    The pork turned out great, but there is something defiantly wrong with the BBQ sauce recipe. Would cook the pork this way again.

    I agree to both comments made about too much vinegar and the fact that there must be a mistake somewhere in the recipe. Im glad I caught the vinegar and cut it by half, but I found the recipe awkward to follow, and a little confusing.

    All in all, this was very good eating.

    So I followed this recipe exactly as it said and I was extremely disappointed. I was left with a liquidy, bland, and chunky sauce. To fix it, I started by putting it in the food processor because it was so chunky. I then tried cooking it down for the next half hour but it still tasted bland. I added extra sugar, about 2 tbsp of dijon mustard, 1/8 tsp of liquid smoke, and 1/2 tsp of tabasco chipotle pepper sauce, 1/8 tsp tobasco pepper sauce, and about 1 tbsp of garlic powder. After much messing around I finally was able to get the flavor about right. However, it was still way to liquidy. I took out about a half cup of liquid and mixed with about a tbsp of corn starch and added that slurry back to the pot. It thickened right up, and I had a great barbecue sauce. I still don't see how you could make a good sauce by just following Bobby's recipe. It's a good base for a sauce, but that's not even close to being a finished bbq sauce. Booooo!
