I'm doing some pulled pork for a party this weekend, probably a
couple 8-9lb butts. I've always done them with just a mustard
slather and then my own rub, but I think I'd like to try injecting
them. Not sure exactly what with though. I'm thinking maybe some
peach juice with some of my rub mixed in,
getting the flavor of the rub cooked in with the meat internally.
Any thoughts?



Peach juice? Why?

Pork butts don't need to be injected to be very tender, just cooked
correctly.

If you want to use fruit juice on a pork but, try marinating it in
papaya, a
natural tenderizer.

Why would you want to tenderize pork? If it gets any more tender than
pulled pork, it turns to mush.

I don't know, it just seemed like a better idea than peach juice! Anyway it
won't turn to mush if its not overcooked, but if tenderized that way you
gotta pull it sooner, or like you say, it will turn to mush. I haven't used
papaya for years now, except once, when somebody brought some wild boar ribs
to cook at a competition friday nite pre-competition party. Didn't help 'em
much!
