Smoked Pulled Pork and Gravy

Psalm 63:1

My Soul Thirsts for You

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

    [1] O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;

        my soul thirsts for you;

    my flesh faints for you,

        as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

 

 

My husband and I smoked a pork butt to put in the freezer and to share with family.

I wanted to create a southern style dish from the smoked pulled pork that would go with fresh peas, mixed greens, creamed corn and mashed potatoes.

So I decided on meat and gravy, good old stand by, but I was skeptical about the gravy having a smoked flavor. Well! It was delicious!
