Directions

  1. Cover pork shanks with water in a large pot over medium heat, bring to a boil.

  2. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and gently simmer pork shanks until tender, about 2 hours. Skim foam that forms on the surface of water as pork cooks, pour in more water as needed. Drain pork shanks and allow to cool, about 15 minutes. Remove surface moisture with paper towels.

  3. Pour root beer into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to 4 cups, about 20 minutes.

  4. Stir apple butter and hot sauce into root beer, reduce heat to low and simmer to keep warm, stirring occasionally, while frying shanks.

  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  6. Gently lower pork shanks into hot oil, 2 or 3 at a time, and deep-fry until meat is crisp and brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

  7. Serve pork shanks slathered with hot apple butter sauce.
