Blackberry Jack Daniels Butt

GusRobin · December 30, 2010, 07:04:17 PM

Going to try the recipe that Hal posted except I'll substitute Jack Daniels instead of bourbon and Cajun Shake Seasoning instead of Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning.
Mix
1 jar of Blackberry Jam,
1 lb of honey,
1 cup of Jack Daniels,
1 TBS black pepper.

Strain if you did not use seedless jam to avoid clogging the injector.

Inject the butt liberally.
Mix
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup Cajun Shake Seasoning (or seasoning of your choice.)

apply rub liberally all over the butt
I put in smoker at 230* with 4 hours of pecan.
My PID is on its way back for repairs so I will smoke for 4 hours then put in the oven to cook overnight. This is one of the times I am glad that I installed a shut off switch when I installed the second element. So I used the 2nd element to get to temp then shut it off (don't want to use it without a PID)

Injected and about to go in the Bradley. The oozing injected mix and rub mix to form a glaze like rub.

Sounds like a winner to me :)
What a creative combo, I like the blackberry jam idea.

Dualling butts!!! How many lbs? Did you have a lot leftover?

My injector still jammed even though it was seedless. Im guessing it was the pepper. Can't wait to read how it tastes.

Mine is 7 lbs. Yeah I decided to to this because it sounded like it would taste good. Plus it was an excuse to buy another bottle of Jack.

I'm hoping it tastes great. If nothing else it is a fun experiment, not cheap one though LOL. Next time I'm going to experiment with some Disaronno.

The pork butt is done with the smoke, at 135* and going in the oven and my butt is going to bed. More to come in the morning.

Butt going into the oven.

I think GR got up, finished the butt, had to test for QC, was overcome with pork and JD goodness, couldn't stop himself, and is presently in a pork induced coma.
