Title: Dr. Pepper pork.
Post by: French G. on January 20, 2019, 06:44:45 PM

Turned out really well.

Country style pork ribs cover with 12oz Dr. Pepper, ketchup, siracha, black pepper, worchestershire. Crock pot low eight hours. Mmmm.

Sounds delicious.

Does the Dr Pepper really add a distinctive flavor?

Sounds like a good combo even without the soda.

I do the pork loin with root beer that Giga recommended years ago all the time. It works really well.

I'm guessing Dr. Pepper would be a different flavor.

It wasn't oversweet, but I assume the sugar does work with pork and the acid helps break things down. One thing was I thought that just ketchup with it's attendant sugar would make pork candy. So I liberally hosed it with Sriracha and it really wasn't spicy in the end. Or sweet. Mission accomplished.

Dr. Pepper has apparently been a preferred cooking liquid for country ham in the south for many years.
