Great Sauce - 2nd time I made it, I used 1/2 cup Lite Mayo 1/4 Non fat yougurt and 1/4 non fat sour cream - same great flavor a lot less fat - Thanks for the recipe - Love it!

Rootbeer?!? Seriously?!? That was my first response - I too went for the boston butt over the tenderloin - 4lbs for 1/2 the price of a 2lb tenderloin was enticing and, yes, I was skeptical - I jabbed the chunk of pork a few times with a fork left all the fat on it, tossed it in my big crockpot and covered it with a 2L bottle of 99c A&W Rootbeer (total cost, about $9.50) - set it on low for 7 hours and went to work... Came home for lunch, rolled the meat at 4 hours and went back to work... came home, and found the CP on "keep warm" - I dumped the liquid fat and rootbeer, pulled the bone, forked the meat apart and dumped a 23oz bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's original BBQ sauce into the pot and set it back to low for 1hr - the result was about 3.5 lbs of the best pulled pork my family has tasted - this could have served 10 people but there is less than half left!!! I saw this recipe pop in a "Superbowl Main Course" survey today (after I made it) - Shoot yeah, this is Superbowl food!!! I sampled the pork after the rootbeer bath and it already was great - I loved the raw sweetness the RB provided to the exterior and it was super tender and moist.... Winner Winner, Pork dinner....

Great concept - I too decided to glaze with it and I only had home made rasperry jam, white vinegar and colemans mustard powder (1tbsp of it, 1tbsp of cold water, rested for 10 min in the fridge prior to mixing in)- I was concerned but the final result was great - I wish I had doubled the sauce as others suggested as reserving 1/3 of a double sauce for a drizzle would have sent it to a 5* for me, this version simply doesnt make enough sauce as I think most have pointed out - but like I said, we loved it, there wasnt any leftover!!! Happy Cooking!
