As I am discovering myself this year one of the things that have been on my heart is giving my kids some of my knowledge along the way. This morning as I make dinner in the crockpot and let the bread rise on the counter I am reminded of all I have learned since I became an adult.
Today I am going to share a pork butt (really pork shoulder) recipe that I am making.
Ingredients:
- 3 lb pork
- Dry rub ingredients
- 2 tbsp ground coffee
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
- Braising liquid
- 1 cup apple cider (we used homemade- spices simmered in apple juice)
Mix dry rub ingredients together pat onto pork and let sit overnight in a covered dish. Add apple cider to crockpot and place pork on top. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Shred with a fork.
Dinner turned out pretty good. I for sure would have added smoked pepper or something to give it a little kick, but it has a pretty good flavor overall.
Never forget to make a good meal for and with those you love.
Love,
Mom
