Pulled Pork Barbecue

Ingredients:

1 whole pork tenderloin, (about 1 pound), all fat trimmed
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetable cooking spray
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
¼ teaspoon maple extract
¼ teaspoon liquid smoke
1 to 2 teaspoons Equal for Recipes or 8 packets Equal sweetener or 1/3 cup Equal Spoonful
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 multigrain hamburger buns, toasted

Directions:

1. Rub pork with 1 teaspoon chili powder and the garlic powder; place in baking pan. Bake in pre-heated 425 degree F. oven until pork is well browned and juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Cut into 2 to 3 inch slices; shred slices into bite-size pieces with a fork.

2. Spray medium saucepan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Saute onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except Equal, salt, pepper, and buns, to saucepan; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until a medium sauce consistency, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in Equal. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir pork into sauce; cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon mixture into buns.

Yield: makes 6 servings.
