Looking for a maple flavoured pulled pork recipe.

italian skewer

Hello folks. Planning on doing a pulled pork on the weekend, with a special someone in mind who loves maple flavour. Never seen anything on the ring regarding that specific flavour, but if it can be done shoot me a way of preparing it as in the way of rub or sauce or whatever. Talk to yous and thank you.

You may be able to frankenstien something outta that.
I never tried it with pulled pork, but the bacon is great. Very Happy

Maybe a marinade and a little for a finish sauce?
Good luck, don't forget pics. Wink

If you can afford it buy some maple sugar and liberally dust the pork with it after it has been pulled. Don't try to use the maple sugar in a butt rub, it will not work because of the long cooking time. It has been my experience that maple sugar carmelizes more quickly and at lower temps than other sugars. IMHO the maple flavor you are looking for will not be present in the bark if you use maple sugar in the rub.

Perhaps you could add maple syrup to your bbq sauce in place of another sweet element

I'm smoking one right now on my uds. I poured some Allegro over it first and then injected with Pepsi and put it in the fridge in a pan for an hour or so then drained and patted it off with towels then slathered mustard, a kansas city rub and a beer seasoning I found at Academy (yummy!) and garlic powder at the end (must have for me). It's smelling terrific so far. Smoking with briquettes and about 4 or 5 pecan chunks. First time making pulled pork in 2 years..
I once tried to use maple syrup as a slather on a brisket and it turned out good if you like strong, tree bark. It was edible but wouldn't try it again. Overuse of sugar and the wrong kind of sugars.

Cabela's has a Maple and Jalapeno flavored rub which I really like.......I think it tastes pretty good on pork.

May help if you've got the time to order, although I'm sure you could make your own if you have maple sugar. I don't think I would use the syrup as it would be too much sugar and would burn easy I'd think.

Good Luck!

Would cooking with Maple wood help get you the effect you're after?

"Looks delicious! I'd slice right into that at 178° ... "

Mister Skewer said "pulled" in the 1st post so that's what the experiment is for...... Should be 20 / 30 min.
Little blastard is taking forever......

Thanks for the Canadian #1 light....just popped it open for this....Refrigerate, or not ?

I sent I.S. a pm but maybe he's already cooking his.....

Thanks about dad, but he's on the way out pretty soon Sad

bucks, everything looks amazing. I'm gonna do a follow up on this with you. I'm forced to cook these shoulders cause they're defrosted. I can't find what i'm looking for anywhere. Noone sells maple sugar for some reason. It's a "special item". Well excuse me. I'm pissed off cause i didn't get to do what i planned, but hey, at the same time, we got 2 shoulders going on. You know what i mean? Very Happy

I will prevail. No pig will ever get the better of me.
