Ingredient Notes

• Pork Butt Roast: Bone-in or boneless, either will work magic here. You could even flirt with a picnic or shoulder roast.
• Hickory Liquid Smoke: A must-have for that alluring pit-smoked flavor. This is the essence of BBQ seduction.
• Ketchup: The perfect base for your luscious barbecue sauce.
• Brown Sugar: Light or dark will do, but dark brown sugar brings a deeper, caramel allure.
• Worcestershire Sauce: A dash of flavor that’s hard to resist; substitute with soy sauce and a pinch of vinegar if you must.
• Red Pepper Flakes: Just a sprinkle for a hint of heat to complement that sweetness.

Liquid Smoke

Find liquid smoke in the condiments aisle of your local grocery store, usually flirting with the BBQ sauces. Choose between hickory, with its bold smokiness, or mesquite, which offers a more subtle charm. We recommend hickory for that extra kick.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate any luscious leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months if you want to save the flavors for later. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

To reheat, gently warm on medium heat in a saucepan or skillet, adding a splash of water to keep things juicy. Stir occasionally, feeling the romance of those flavors intertwine. Or, go the microwave route on high in 30-second intervals, covered with a damp paper towel for that even warmth.
