Makings from the Madhouse: Stanah Open Day

So last Sunday was an open day at the well visited Stanah Country Park, My mum and Dad decided to come along with us as well, and despite a rather wet start to the day, it cleared up enough to go.

I made a picnic for everyone, but as we are a bit sick of sandwiches and sausage rolls after all our days out last week, i decided to make so Pulled Pork, so we could make hot barms when we got there.

I have made pulled pork quite a few times but i did it a different way this time and it was quite honestly the most amazing pulled pork i have had!! yes i know that's a bit big headed but who cares, it was the best!

This is how i did it

MAPLE MUSTARD PULLED PORK

1.5 - 2kg Pork

100g Light brown Sugar

1 tsp salt

100g Wholegrain mustard

2tsp English Mustard

100ml Maple Syrup

Put Pork in a roasting bag ( make sure string is removed) and tip all other ingredient in a bowl and mix together. Put the mixture into the roasting bag with the pork, tie the bag and shake and mix to make sure the pork is completely coated.

Place the bag, with the coated meat in a slow cooker and half fill the cooker around the bag with water.

Put the lid on and switch to Automatic and leave for 10 hours.

I did it over night.

Once finished taken the meat out and shred it ( if you need to, i didn't it just fell apart!)

I Put my pork straight in a food flask and fried some onions to go with it.

When we got there i just served it in barmcakes!

We often have this as a winter picnic.

For pudding i made this Summer Pudding which i photographed at home as i had to keep it in the bowl, It was also delicious and i just took a tin of squirty cream as i had run out of storage things to keep double cream cold

Once we got there Ewan and Molly made a Bird Box each, a bargain at £3.50 a pop. Felt a bit sorry for the guy though as i bet he had a headache after all those kids hammering, bet he had purple thumbs as well!
