SOUTH CAROLINA CHOPPED BARBECUE

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine the pork, garlic, vinegar and peppercorns and add enough water to cover. Bring liquid to a boil over moderately high heat, skimming the froth as it rises to the surface. Simmer, partially covered, for about three hours, or until very tender.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining the vinegar, pepper and salt in a covered container, shaking vigorously to blend.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove the pork from the Dutch oven, discarding the liquid. Place pork on the rack of a roasting pan, and baste thoroughly with the spicy sauce. Baste every 15 minutes or so, turning the meat after 1 1/2 hours. It should roast for a total of about three hours with constant basting, so it does not dry out. The fat should be crisp.
• Remove pork from the oven, chop very finely with a large knife, and sauce again. The mixture should be moist, but not soupy. Serve warm, with cole slaw and white bread.
