Crockpot: Ginger Barbeque Pork

Found a recipe for Root Beer Pork and adapted this from it.  I'm not a huge fan of root beer.

Ingredients:
1 pork loin (1-3 lbs)
3 tbsp (Mostly) Barbeque Spice Rub (recipe)
1 bottle of ginger beer*

Directions:
Put pork loin in the crockpot.  Sprinkle the top with the spice rub and press it in.  Pour bottle of ginger beer over the top of it.  Turn crockpot on low for at least 4 hours.

This is also good shredded and on buns as a sandwich.


*Ginger beer is a different animal than ginger ale being entirely more gingery and not as sweet.  You can usually find it in foreign food stores (being quite popular in Jamaica) or in your grocery store's health and foreign food aisles.  Please don't substitute ginger ale, it'll hurt my feelings.

(Mostly)Barbeque Spice Rub

This spice rub is something I use to "kick it up a notch" with pre-made barbeque things and my own barbeque recipes.  Keep an eye out next week for the recipe I most commonly use it in or sprinkle it on top of the next barbeque sandwich you have.

Ingredients:
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp black pepper (freshly ground is better)
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried onions
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions:

Mix it all together.  Package whatever you're not using right away in an airtight container or ziplock with extra air squeezed out.
