Using Dr. Pepper for injection...pork shoulder

[kz0m]

Just curious who has used Dr. Pepper, cherry flavor or other for injection into meats, mainly pork?  Any suggestions and taste experience appreciated ;-)

I have definitely used it to slow cook a pork roast in my crock pot before with excellent results.

No idea how it would work for an injection though.

When the show, BBQ Pit Masters was on TV, one of the competitors used soda as his injection.  So, I'd take that if a pro was doing it, it would be worth the experiment.

I think I'll give it a go.  A friend of mine is using honey and butter warmed up together injected in a brisket, that sounds yummy also!

I have used sprite for pork....never Dr. P though...............

Hey, lots of sauces with Coca-Cola base in the south.  The only thing I would worry about, in an injection, would be the sweetness.  If that's what you're looking for, then by all means!

Experimentation is how lots of us have come up with winners!
