Barbecued Pig and a bootlegging story for Daddy
In this episode, we are setting the table with a great Barbecue recipe, and a story on running untaxed liquor, and the blow that prohibition took on Tennessee Agriculture. Farmer, Mother, and a great cook, Aliceson Bales of Bales Farm (Mosheim TN) shares the easiest recipe for barbecue pork shoulder just in time for Father's Day. Aliceson's husband is multi-Grammy award-winning Barry Bales, and he made a theme song just for her that you will hear. We also hear from Rick Riddle of The Winery at Seven Springs Farm (Maynardville, Tennessee) and a story involving prohibition, running whiskey, Junior Johnson, and bringing on the thunder.

Alison Bales Barbecue Pork Shoulder Recipe
Hands-on time 5-10 minutes Yield: 6-8 servings
You’ll need:
A crockpot 2-2.5 pound pork shoulder 1 cup paprika 1/2 cup white sugar or substitute (I recommend Monk Fruit) 1 tablespoon onion powder
Mix the spices and rub on your pork shoulder. Place pork shoulder in the crockpot and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8 hours. The pork is done when it falls off the bone and you can easily pull it apart.
Shred with forks or chop with a knife and serve on sandwiches, barbecue nachos, pizza, salads or just on a plate.
Enjoy!
