PITTSBURGH HAM BARBECUES



Pittsburgh Ham Barbecues image

I grew up on these delicious, sweet, and tangy barbecue sandwiches made from chipped deli ham. This dish is a staple in Western Pennsylvania, although each family seems to have its own way of making them! It's a terrific last-minute meal. Chipped chopped ham is a pressed ham loaf sold at deli counters in the Pittsburgh area which is always chipped. If you can get Islay's Chipped Ham, that is the original and still the best for these sandwiches. Otherwise, just get any deli ham and have it chipped or shaved paper thin. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat. Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the best cut for pulled pork sandwiches because it's tough and fatty, which means it will become tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce is the key to a great pulled pork sandwich, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, with a good balance of sweet, sour, and smoky flavors.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender. This can take several hours, but it's worth it. The longer you cook the pork, the more tender and flavorful it will be.
  • Shred the pork with two forks. This is the easiest way to shred the pork, and it will give you nice, even pieces.
  • Serve the pulled pork sandwiches on toasted buns. This will help to soak up the juices from the pork and make the sandwiches even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork sandwiches are a classic American comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make, and they're always a hit with a crowd. Whether you're cooking for a party or just a family dinner, pulled pork sandwiches are a surefire way to please everyone.
