Pulled Pork Parfaits featuring leftover pulled pork, BBQ baked beans, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, pickles, and BBQ sauce layered in old-fashioned mason jars. Also known as BBQ Parfaits, these BBQ Pulled Pork Jars are perfect for your next backyard cookout!
This year we are participating in the 2020 Juneteenth Cookout Takeover! This initiative was established to encourage the celebration of Juneteenth and amplify the food traditions of black culinary creatives.
What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth is a jubilee of freedom to commemorate the end of slavery. A merge of the words/date June and Nineteenth, Juneteenth marks the date in 1865 that the last enslaved people learned of their freedom. For over 150 years since, Black American families, home cooks, chefs, and culinarians have commemorated the summer holiday with a wide range of food traditions that tell a story of the perseverance of a people. It’s often celebrated with a cookout among friends and family.
Pulled Pork Parfait (BBQ Parfait)
For this virtual Juneteenth cookout, we made smoked pulled pork, BBQ baked beans, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw, and layered them in old-fashioned mason jars with pickles and BBQ sauce. Also known as a pulled pork parfait recipe, or simply a BBQ parfait recipe, this mason jar pulled pork recipe is a fun, creative way to serve your favorite foods at your next cookout!
The convenience of having all of the sides piled in a jar with pulled pork not only makes it easier to hold than a paper plate, but it is also the best way to eat with a fork without making a huge mess! You can walk around with all of the food contained, which means no spills. Maybe even have your favorite drink in one hand, and your mason jar BBQ in the other hand?!
I’ll admit, when Marrekus first approached me about doing a pulled pork parfait, I was a skeptic. Glad he decided to go for it, because it turned out AMAZING!

i want o try this recipe for my church function, they love to eat!!!
what size jars do you recommend?

How do you keep this item (PULLED PORK PARFAITS) warm? My concern is for a picnic buffet-style event. Thank you.
Hi! That’s a great question. I recommend keeping them warm in a chafing buffet dish. I would put the top on the jars and add the cole slaw last (when serving) so that the slaw is cold and fresh and the rest of the ingredients are warm. We have not tried this, but that’s what I would try!
