BBQ Pulled Pork Top Loin

There is nothing I like better than great BBQ sauce.  This has to be the best BBQ sauce I have ever made.  It has a rich tangy sweet flavor with a touch of heat.  I added caramelized Maui onion slices to the mix and every bite is simply an explosion of flavor in your mouth.  The pork is melt in your mouth delicious and when you add the BBQ sauce to the mix look out!

Here is what you need to do to make this incredible meal.  You will need to roast the pork top loin.  The instruction on this link show chicken being roasted but works just as well for pork.  The only thing you need to change is 30 minutes before the the 2 hour mark you will need add 1/2 cup of Jack Daniels and to drizzle the pork with honey, pure maple syrup, molasses and brown sugar.  This will add a wonderful sweetness to the pork. You will need the juices to make the BBQ sauce.

Take the pork out of the pot and pour off the juices.  Skim the fat off the top.  To make the BBQ sauce you need:
1 Cup Ketchup
1 Can Tomato Paste
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Molasses
1/2 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp of the following seasonings
Onion Powder
Rosemary
Parsley
Mustard Powder
Smoked Paprika
Ground Cumin
Salt
1/2 tsp Cyan Pepper and Black Pepper
1 Capful of Liquid Smoke

Add all these ingredients to the pork juices in a sauce pot.  Heat over medium heat and simmer for about 10 minutes before serving.

Slice the pork and ladle the sauce over the pork.  You can serve the pork on a bun and make a delicious sandwich.

Things that go great with this is caramelized Maui onion slices.  Slice the onions thickly.  Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.  Add the onion slices and let them brown lightly on both sides.  By this point the onions should be very tender and the natural sweetness of the onion will come through.

Another thing that I love with this meal is ripe smashed or cubed avocado.  Lightly salt and pepper the avocado.

And of course sprinkle with a great cheese of your choice.  Enjoy!!!!!
