Directions

Smoked Pork:

1. Trim excess fat if needed. Season generously on all sides with Big Poppa’s Jallelujah Jalapeño and Sweet Money Seasonings. Let the rub absorb for 15-20 minutes.

2. Set your smoker to 250°F. Place a water pan under the meat for extra moisture.

3. Place the seasoned pork butt on the smoker and cook for about 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F.

4. Remove the pork, place it on foil, and add butter, honey, and brown sugar. Wrap tightly and return to the smoker for 2-3 more hours until the internal temperature reaches 200°F.

5. Remove from the smoker and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. Save the juices for later.

6. Unwrap, shred, and mix with reserved juices for extra flavor.

Miso Macadamia Slaw:

1. Combine mayonnaise, yellow miso, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, rice wine (or mirin), and rice vinegar in a blender. Blend until smooth.

2. In a large bowl, mix coleslaw with crushed macadamia nuts. Pour in the miso dressing and toss to coat.

Serve:
