Southern Pulled Pork

Ingredients:

Directions:

PREP

Rub pork shoulder/butt with yellow mustard (gives seasoning something to stick to). Then, generously rub with F+F Organic Mesquite Seasoning Rub. Wrap it, and let it sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours to allow the spices to penetrate the meat.

SMOKE / ROAST
  1. Heat smoker/grill or oven to 225°F. Indirect heat works the best. Add your favorite soaked wood chips to add the smoked flavor.
  2. Allow pork to come to room temperature then place in smoker or oven.
  3. Smoke/roast Boston butt about 60–90 minutes per pound.
  4. Every 2-1/2 hours, turn the roast to ensure even cooking. Mop with combination of apple juice and olive oil to keep it moist.
  5. The meat is done when the internal temperature is above 190°F.

Low heat and slow cooking time is the key to tender, moist pulled pork. Don’t be afraid to start early because it can take longer than expected. If it gets done early, wrap it in foil and put it in a cooler. It will keep warm for hours after it is done.

Let the smoked/roasted Boston butt sit for about an hour after it is done so you don’t burn your fingers as you pull the meat or use pulling forks. After pulling the pork roast apart, apply F+F Kentucky Style Sweet Molasses BBQ Sauce to taste and serve.

 

Brisket

Prep time: 1 hour
Cook time: 12 hours
Servings: 12–16

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Trim the fat cap of the brisket down to 1/4”. Trim the large chunk of hard fat that sits between the point and flat muscles on the meat side of the brisket. Trim the sides and ends to be uniform in shape. Add the mustard to the entire surface of the brisket creating a light slather for the spices to adhere. Mix together the Kosher Salt and F+F Organic Mesquite Seasoning Rub, together in a shaker. Shake the spice mix evenly across all surfaces of the brisket. Let the meat sit out at room temperature for at least an hour before putting it on the smoker (this allows the meat to start cooking faster at the lower temperature. If you put a large cut of meat in the smoker cold, it will add up to an hour or more to your total cook time).
  2. Bring smoker temperature to 250°F and add 2–3 chunks of smoking wood (Hickory, Cherry, Post-oak, etc.). For kettle smokers, add a water pan to help keep humidity at 70%–80% range.
  3. Place the brisket fat side down if the heat source is directly below the meat; fat side up for indirect heat. The fat cap renders slowly during the long cook and will act as a barrier between the meat and the heat source helping to keep surface area from drying out.
  4. Smoke for 3 hours without opening the smoker. This first phase is when the most important smoke absorption occurs.
  5. As you are waiting to check the brisket after the 3-hour mark, prepare a spray bottle to mist the brisket during the next part of the cook. Fill your spray bottle with 3 parts water, 1 part apple cider vinegar, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
  6. After the first 3 hours of the cook you should have decent color forming on the outside of the brisket. Check the moisture level by touching the surface area of the flat part of the brisket with your fingertip. Do not move or pick up the brisket as you do not want to interrupt the bark formation. The surface should be slightly sticky to the touch but not wet. If it is dry and streaky, spray the surface with the water/apple cider vinegar mixture. Making sure the surface area stays moist is key. Spray every 30 minutes or so until you wrap the brisket after it breaks stall.
  7. After 4–5 hours of total cooking time, the internal temperature will stick at one spot usually between 150°F and 160°F. This temperature “stall” can last several hours. Make sure not to put the tip of the thermometer into the fat layer but check the muscle for accurate results.
  8. Once the internal temperature starts climbing by more than a degree from the stalled temperature, and your bark is a dark mahogany color, it is time to take up the brisket and wrap.
  9. Wrap in aluminum foil or butcher paper. Paper allows the steam inside to release without getting trapped inside helping the bark to darken and provide a good texture. Wrapping with foil usually speeds up the time to get the brisket probe tender but can impact bark formation. Remove the brisket from the smoker onto two pieces of butcher paper roughly 30” long a piece overlapping. Place the brisket about 1/3 of the way up the overlapping butcher paper and spritz one more time with water/vinegar mixture. Add a few shakes of the F+F Organic Mesquite Seasoning Rub and salt mixture to the surface of the meat then wrap the brisket. Place the wrapped brisket in a large aluminum pan with a cup of beef broth in the bottom. Place the pan with the brisket back in the smoker and let it cook until it is done.
  10. Two cues to brisket being done:
    • Temperature: flat starts measuring 190°F to 210°F.      
    • Feel: use the thermometer probe to check the flat and point for tenderness. Thermometer should go in and out of the brisket with little to no resistance. Check every 30 minutes until that is the texture you feel when taking the temperature.
  11. When desired texture is reached, remove brisket from smoker and put it into another pan to rest at room temperature until the internal temperature drops to 165°F (usually an hour). Crack the wrap slightly allowing heat and steam to escape. This stops the carryover cooking and brings the temperature of the brisket to a place that is optimal for resting.
  12. Now take that brisket out of the aluminum pan (leaving it wrapped in the butcher paper), wrap it in plastic wrap, wrap that in an old towel, and place it in an empty cooler for 1–4 hours. This resting is a key step to getting the brisket as juicy as possible.

Triple Berry Cheesecake

Mixed Berry Cheesecake Bars - The Frozen Biscuit

Ingredients:

BERRY SAUCE:
CRUST:
  • 1-1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
CHEESECAKE FILLING:
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages softened cream cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

BERRY SAUCE
  1. Combine berries and F+F Triple Berry Jam and the juice of one large lemon, mixing lightly.
CRUST:
  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter in the bottom of a 9 in spring form pan.
  2. Wrap the spring form pan with one large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, covering the underside of the pan and extending all the way to the top. Repeat with another sheet of foil for insurance.
  3. Spray the inside of the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Gently press the crumb mixture up the sides of the pan and over the bottom of the pan to form a crust.
  4. Refrigerate until ready to use. When ready to use, pre-heat oven to 375°F and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Let sit for 15 minutes.
FILLING:
  1. Mix softened cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla with a mixer until smooth.
  2. Gently pour filling into the graham cracker crust.
  3. Drizzle half of the berry sauce over top and gently swirl in with a knife being careful not to ruin the crust.
BAKING:
  1. Decrease oven temperature to 325°F.
  2. Set the unbaked cheesecake in a large roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it comes about one inch up the side of the cake pan. The water bath regulates the temperature and keeps the cheesecake baking at an even, low heat. The steam/humidity created by the water bath also protects the cheesecake from drying out and cracking.
  3. Bake until the cake is just set, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes. The cake should not look liquidly at all but will wobble just a bit when the pan is nudged; it will continue to cook as it cools.
  4. Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven and set it on a wire rack.
  5. Cool the cheesecake in the water bath until the water is just warm, about 45 minutes.
  6. Remove the spring form pan from the water bath, discard the foil, and transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator to cool for at least 8 hours or overnight.
SERVING:
  1. Remove the sides of the spring form pan.
  2. You can serve the cheesecake right from the base of the spring form pan. Or, if you’d like to transfer it to a serving platter, run a long, thin spatula between the crust and the pan bottom, and then use two large spatulas to transfer the cheesecake to a serving dish.
  3. Slice with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between slices.
  4. Serve with remaining berry sauce.
