Best BBQ sauce for pulled pork?
 

I'm thinking about making some home made bbq sauce for my pulled pork tomorrow. Suggestions? I've tried a Neely's recipe on Food Network and it was pretty decent. Think I'm gonna pull out a few books for some ideas...

Anything that is apple cider vinegar based really lets the pork shine. Or nekkid on a bun is always good :wink:

Blues Hog Tennessee Red is my usual for PP. I use it lightly just to help stay moist.

Roxy's Mustard Sauce is a favorite of my family...http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/rec...ce138550.shtml

I like a good dousing of Carolina Red on PP to begin with. Usually that's all it needs but, you can add any sauce you want after that.
Plenty of recipes for CR on the net. Quick and easy too.
Make it as mild or spicy as you like.

This is my go to vinegar sauce for PP, it's simple but very good.

1 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/8 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp black pepper

Blues Hog Tennessee Red or SHACK ATTACK!!

Dr. BBQ's Big Time BBQ Sauce is my favorite, and it is easy to make.

These are the ones I keep on hand for a little variety

Eastern N..C. BBq sauce
Ingredients
1 quart cider vinegar
1/8 cup salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon milled black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
1/2-3/4 cup light brown sugar, depending on taste
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce

Mustard Vinegar Sauce

1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup Yellow mustard
1/4 cup onion finely minced
2 cloves garlic pureed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Combine ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

For a smoother sauce, blend on high for a few minute

Shack Attack BBQ Sauce Recipe

1 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup of your favorite hot sauce
1 Tablespoon (TBS) Paprika
1 TBS Black Pepper
1 TBS Kitchen Salt
2 TBS Yellow Mustard (French)

Mix well, let sit for at least 24 to 48 hours before serving for best results. I blend it in my Ninja, that's why it's about 16 ounces total.

That Roxy's is good. That Shack Attack looks pretty close to what I do for a vinegar sauce. You could always just slop cole slaw on it too.

I am a fan of the Eastern Carolina style sauce which several have posted recipes for. It is thin since it is vinegar base and you use it till you taste the slight bite of the vinegar. And it lets the pork flavor shine through. I have gotten nothing but rave reviews from family and friends that have had my pulled pork with the carolina style sauce on it.

Long read, but LOTS of fantastic recipes:

Cole slaw for sure! The Shack sauce is a Virginia sauce inspired by an African American BBQ cook who cooked BBQ from around the 1840s to the beginning of the 20th century in VA. His name was Shack and he was a much respected man for his cooking and for his heroics saving lives during the civil war.

That reminds me of Lexington, NC dip. I'm trying it!

I also love the Shack Attack, and this is my go-to:

Cider Vinegar Barbecue Sauce:

• 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
• 1 cup yellow or brown mustard
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for at least 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
