Outstanding Pulled Pork Barbecue Sandwiches

1 whole pork butt

Rub
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 TBS kosher salt
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp cayenne pepper

Mix together in a bowl and set aside.

BBQ Sauce (I highly recommend doubling recipe)
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup chopped tomato
3 TBS minced sweet onion
2 TBS minced pitted dates
1 TBS minced garlic

Mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Simmer and reduce until you have 1-/2 cups of sauce.  Set aside.

Poke the butt all over with a knife so the rub can seep into the holes. Rub the butt with mixture and place in a large resealable bag.  Keep leftover rub for the next day.  Let rest in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, spray a roasting pan with oil. Re-rub the roast again with leftover mixture and let sit in the roasting pan at room temperature for 2 hours.

PREHEAT oven to 250 degrees.

Roast in the center of the oven, uncovered, for 8 to 9 hours.  It will be falling apart tender and the center should read 195 to 200 degrees.

Pull the meat apart with meat forks toss with the barbecue sauce. Serve with extra sauce - I double the barbecue sauce recipe.
