Only one syn! That's brilliant! Next time I see them on offer I'll get some for the freezer. I always assumed they had oil on them and they'd be loads of syns. Good standby for lunchtimes.


I'd like the pulled pork recipe too please shala.:)

I'd assumed they'd be loads of syns too.. definitely might get some as an emergency or pop some in the freezer at work.. :j

Pulled pork recipe - I've used this one before http://www.slimmingeats.com/blog/slow-cooker-pulled-pork#.U_m7jxt0w5s but it does have a lot of ingredients and you cook the pork in the sauce.

What I've done lately is cook the pork in the slow cooker with a dry rub.. so mix all the ingredients below, rub over the pork joint and pop in your slow cooker for a few hours (depends on the size of your joint) when it's done pull the pork apart with two forks so it shreds.


Rub
1 tbsp. brown sugar (syns?)
1 tbsp. paprika
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp mustard powder

and then use the SW BBQ recipe separately and pour it over the shredded pork, serve with wholemeal roll (heb) or on top of a jacket potato..


BBQ Sauce
1 onion, diced and saut!ed (I use 1 tsp onion powder instead saves the bother)
1 tsp mild chilli powder
227ml passata
2-3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. sweetner
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp mustard powder

Put all the ingredients in a pan and simmer until thickened

I also add some liquid smoke that I bought off ebay to add that smokiness.

I think it's a really easy recipe to play with and change to your tastes, I try not to add too much vinegar as it's quite strong!!


Hope that's ok - i'm not very good at explaining recipes (or following them!!) :rotfl:

Once again, if I've missed anyone or got anything wrong please let me know

Sorry I have not been posting recently but not been in the mood.

DH has been and still is really ill, had lots of tests now Dr's believe it is lvf. Had to cancel our 2nd honeymoon as he is too ill to travel. I was so looking forward to going away. One of my big motivations.

Been struggling with the chocolate urge though I have been losing a lb or 2 each week.

will try and post when I can.

Thanks Annie my details are correct on the chart.

Out of funds sorry to hear DH has been so poorly. Take care of yourself too.

Lioness I am with you have been doing housework all day today and since I got up at 7am this is the first time I have sat down, except for breakfast, lunch and dinner lol. Loads of BM is all I keep thinking.:j
