Spork and Skewer

I promised you a second method for the delicious party food that is pulled pork. This is of the manly, smoked variety.  My husband takes great pride in his smoked pork, and has been perfecting this method for years. Prepare this shoulder when you have some time; we're talking 6-12 hours. You might call this a labor of love. It's worth every minute.

Party food is tricky, especially when you're expecting a crowd. We try to opt for something informal, inexpensive, and tasty. That can be a tough bill to fill. Pulled pork sandwiches are a great answer. This fare is close to my heart because my in-laws hosted the grooms dinner for our wedding with a pig roast. The fun, casual vibe was perfect for our friends and family to socialize and celebrate the eve of our wedding. These sandwiches are reminiscent of that day. The root-beer pork is my method (tender, tangy, and crock pot friendly), and the smoked shoulder is my husband's version (we're talkin' low and slow). Try one; try them both. Which will you prefer?
