pulled pork sandwiches
Jennifer Iserloh, The Skinny ChefAs soon as the first sunny day hits, my husband and friends ask when I'm going to make the first batch of pulled pork. Pulled pork is one of those dishes that has deep culinary roots from the cut of pork to the sauce that it's basted with. I won't get into the whole "what is barbecue" because that is a large topic; instead let's talk about how to enjoy this summer picnic treat, even if you don't have a barbecue pit, and how you can make it indoors even when the weather isn't great. Whether you have a sauce or a spice rub, good pulled pork has a soft juicy texture and moist flavorful sauce that coats the inside of a golden toasted bun.

From bottled to home-made, the flavor of barbecue sauces vary quite a bit. Out of all the bottled sauces I've tasted, I always come back to Hoboken Eddies, and it's not because I live in Hoboken. It's because it's loaded with flavors and spices, has a dark rich color, that makes it super rich -- the perfect match with lower fat meats like pork loin used in this recipe.
