Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:
Barbecue Sauce, see below
1-1/2 pounds cooked, lean, pork roast, thinly sliced
6 large hamburger buns, warmed
Dill pickles
Coleslaw with Boiled Dressing

Barbecue Sauce:
1/4 cup butter
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup tomato ketchup
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup water

Method:
Preheat oven to 300F (150C). Prepare Barbecue Sauce. Combine pork and Barbecue Sauce in a 2-quart casserole, blending until slices are evenly coated.

Bake, covered, 30 minutes or until pork is completely heated through. You may combine pork and sauce, cover and refrigerate until ready to heat. Add 10 to 15 minutes to heating time.

Spoon heated pork and sauce onto each warm hamburger bun. Garnish with dill pickle and coleslaw, placing a heaping tablespoon of slaw on top of pork in each bun.

To prepare Barbecue Sauce:
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat butter. Add onion and garlic. Saute over low heat 5 minutes or until onion is soft. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Turn into a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until pureed. Makes 2-1/2 cups.
