Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 lbs pork shoulder
1 lb pork soup bones
1 (22 ounce) can tomatoes
1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon garlic powder
3 1/2 cups hot water

Steps:

  • Add spices, chopped hot peppers and chopped chili strips and continue to boil for 20 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Lower heat to medium and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
  • Remove bones and ready to serve.
