Equipment
- roasting pan
- aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup spice rub
- 1 1/2 lb pork shoulder picnic roast
- 2 cups of your favourite BBQ Sauce
- Buns
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
- Take spice mixture and rub it all over your pork roast, massaging a little to get the spices into all cracks & crevices
- Put in a roasting pan and cover with tin foil.
- Bake in oven until meat is tender and falling off the bone. This could take 3-5 hours depending on the actual size of the roast and your oven (so check occasionally)

Notes
To make BBQ Sauce: In a pot over medium high heat combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/2-3/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp of your spice rub and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Bring to a low boil and then drop heat to a simmer. Let simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until cool and ready to use.
