Don't need 1/2 and 1/2 more like 3/4 meat and 1/4 liquid. Not sure how best to describe it - a "little sloppy" maybe? You just want it to move freely in the jar if you were to tip it or invert it. Know what I mean?

Wife says - "so when you dump the jar into a pan to warm it up to eat you don't have to add any more liquid to keep it from sticking." Make sense?

Oh yes, that makes sense, Dave. Thank you for your prompt answer. I can't wait to get it put up and will be watching for more good buys on the pork. And tell your wife I said thank you to her, too.

Do you use the NCHFP Bar B Q sauce Digdirt?

No I usually just can pulled pork, not necessarily Bar-b-Q pulled pork. Just the pulled pork and the spices and roasting juices. Then you can add your sauce of choice or whatever after opening.

NEVER MIND: I think I found it.

Not to revive an old thread.... (ok.. maybe I am) but I'm intrigued by this... I can't seem to find the aforementioned January 2011 post.. could someone direct me to it?

Hmmm, I've got a whole pork loin (10 lbs) taking up room in my freezer, we like pulled pork but I usually do it in the slow cooker.

Once I thaw the loin out (have to empty the bottom shelf of my fridge to do that), I'd like to cut it into roasts and cook it all at once rather than refreeze 2/3 of it.

But can anybody tell me how many pints of pulled pork 10 lbs will make? And should it be cooked thoroughly (I usually cook it in vinegar and tomatoes, then add some BBQ sauce after shredding), or slightly undercooked, as the NCHFP instructions for "meat strips" say to cook until rare?

As to the cooking, see the Carnitas discussion further down the page. It is the continuation of this discussion.

Amounts - can't say with any accuracy, probably around 8-9 pints.. Depends on how much the meat cooks down, how much you shred it, what the fat content of it is, what liquids you choose to add, etc.

Thanks - just wanted to make sure I had the jars, and I'd like to be able to do it in 1 batch. I have to learn how to use my new PC first, but nice to know that I can get this huge piece of meat out of my freezer soon.

I too have trouble remembering to take things out to thaw for dinner (and sometimes our dinner plans change, and I find myself with something thawed and ready to use but no time to cook it because of some kid's activity!). It will be nice to have something that just requires reheating.
