Low Sodium Pulled Pork

After looking around for a good pulled pork recipe and disappointed by all the recipes that said "add a bottle of BBQ sauce"  I just made this up.  I didn't measure anything, below is approximately the amounts that I used.  Feel free to adjust as needed for how you like your BBQ sauce.

INGREDIANTS
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
2 Tbl yellow mustard
2 Tbl brown sugar
1/2 teas smoke flavoring
1/2 vidalia onion chopped
1 pork shoulder

DIRECTIONS
Place pork shoulder in crock pot, put onion and BBQ sauce on top of it.  Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low 8-10 hours.  When done remove shoulder from crockpot and shred using a fork, return pork to the pot and mix in with the BBQ sauce.

  1. Did you use regular ketchup or low sodium ketchup? Just curious.

  2. I normally make my own ketchup, using the recipe from the AHA low salt cookbook. However, I didn't have time to make it, so I did use regular ketchup this time (since my husband has potassium issues I can't use store bought low sodium ketchup b/c they all seem to use potassium salt). I haven't noticed much of a taste difference between normal and homemade ketchup in sauces.

  3. Lum Taylor's BBQ sauce from www.healthyheartmarket.com is my favorite, I have been getting all my low sodium and no sodium food products from there for years
