Spicy Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork

Ingredients
 

  • 1 whole Pork Shoulder/pork butt - 5 To 7 Pounds if you can't find this I have also used 3- 2 lb ones that worked just as easily
  • 1 whole large onion quartered
  • 1/2 can Chipotle Peppers in Adobo sauce add whole can if you like a lot of heat
  • 1 small bottle of Dr. Pepper 20 fl oz
  • 3 Tbsp. brown sugar

Spice rub

  • 1/2 tsp. all spice
  • 2 tsp. ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Peel onion and cut into 4 pieces. Lay them in the bottom of a large dutch oven.
  • Add the spice rub to the pork - work it into the meat, then set it on top of the onions in the pan.
  • Add the chipotle peppers over the pork (include the sauce.) Add in can of Dr Pepper. Add brown sugar.
  • Place lid on pot, then set pot in the oven. Cook for six hours. Check meat every two hours and use tongs to flip it . After six hours; it should be falling apart, use two forks to see if it shreds easily. If it's not falling apart, return to the oven for another hour or so.
  • Remove meat from pot and place on a cutting board or other work surface. Use two forks to shred meat. Discard fat pieces. Return the shredded meat to the cooking liquid, and keep warm until ready to serve.
