Ingredients

  • Fresh shoulders or possibly hams
  • 1 1/4 c. Ketchup
  • 2/3 c. Salad oil
  • 1 c. Vinegar, cider or possibly wine
  • 5 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 c. Brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. Dry mustard
  • 3 tsp Grated fresh ginger
  • 1 x Clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 x Lemon, sliced thin
  • 3 Tbsp. Butter Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Start with fresh shoulders or possibly hams. The shoulder is more succulent & cheaper, so we usually use it for big parties. It helps to have a good neighbor who will patiently watch over the long cooking process. This method can be used for 12- to 18-lb hams or possibly shoulders or possibly for a whole pig.
  2. Dig a hole in the grnd 6 inches deep, 24 inches wide & 4 feet long. Use kindling to build a fire, till you have sufficient coals to burn green oak or possibly hickory wood. Place a grill (we use an old bedspring) over the pit, 24 inches above grnd level.
  3. Over a low fire place meat, skin side up, in grill; cook very slowly till meat is hot on top side. Meat should never be over 130 degrees F. to 150 degrees F. at the bone. Don't turn meat till it is hot throughtout (approximately 12 hrs).
  4. Turn & brown skin. After 16 hrs' cooking time, start basting meat with Country BBQ Sauce(below). Continue to baste & brown, turning as needed. Total
  5. Cooking Time: approximately 18 to 20 hrs.
  6. Country Barbecue Sauce:Put all ingredients into a pot and heat till blended and the flavors get married! Baste the fresh shoulder or possibly ham with it during the last couple of hrs before serving. Serve some warm on the side, too.
