Ingredients
Rub
- 1 cup brown sugar (I prefer piloncillo)
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground dark roast coffee
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Chipotle-Blueberry BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup blueberry jam
- 2 Tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo puree
- 2 Tablespoons Steen’s Pure Cane Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
- Combine the ingredients for the rub. Mix well. If you get the piloncillo in a solid block, soften it in the microwave for a few seconds, then chop it up.
- Combine the ingredients for the sauce. Mix well.
- Spread the rub over the pork roast. Refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare your smoker. I use the water pan.
- Brush the sauce over the roast.
- Place the roast in the smoker.
- Smoke for several hours. I put it in for 6 hours, but it got overdone.
I like the taste of the roast. I cooked it for 6 hours with a lot of charcoal, and the meat was dry. Next time I'll either use less charcoal or cook it for less time, maybe 4 hours.
By the way, the sauce and rub also make good hamburgers. I mix some of the sauce in the ground meat and put the rub on the outside. Then I cook it on a BBQ grill as with any burger.
