JACK AND COKE BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICH

Category: Sandwiches

5 to 6 lbs boneless center cut pork loin or pork shoulder (remove shoulder back fat), sliced in half at its widest (This can also be made with brisket of beef.)
.
For the Marinade:
4 cups cola, Dr Pepper, black cherry soda, or root beer
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp cider vinegar
12 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp Tabasco sauce
2 tsp celery salt
.
For the Jack and Coke BBQ Sauce:
1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup cola
1/3 cup Jack Daniels Whiskey
1/4 cup Frank's Hot Sauce, or other hot sauce of your choice
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
Goya Adobo seasoning or kosher salt, to taste
6 kaiser rolls
Salt and pepper

Combine cola, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, garlic, Tabasco sauce, and celery salt in a bowl, pan, or pot large enough to hold all the pork. Add the pork, turning to be sure it is well coated, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 .

Combine the ketchup, cola, whiskey, hot sauce, honey, soy sauce, and adobo seasoning or salt to make the barbecue sauce.

Place the marinated meat in a roasting pan. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and cook the pork in the preheated oven for 1-1/2 hours. Pour off 2/3 of the liquid in the pan and spread the meat with the barbecue sauce and return it to the oven, uncovered, for another 1-1/2 hours. When the pork is done, it will shred easily with a fork. Test it, and if it's still a bit difficult to shred, return it to the oven for another 15 minutes and try again.

When the meat is done, remove it from the oven and shred it with a fork. Slice the rolls in half, pile on the pork, and serve with creamy coleslaw. Serves 6
