Best BBQ sauce for pulled pork? - Page 2

medeloach · 12-30-2012, 07:47 PM

1 large onion, finely diced
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 (40 oz) bottle tomato ketchup
1 cup apple cider
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/8 tsp. mesquite smoke (just a few drops - optional)
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

The only difference is that I don't have apple cider - I have apple juice, but I think it'll be fine. To be honest, I've never tried a recipe that had molasses in it, so I wanted to try it. As far as the thin vinegar-based sauces, I'm really not that into them. Perhaps it's because I'm originally from the SOUTH Carolina Lowcountry and that's really a North Carolina thing...

Pron coming tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great New Years Eve!

Any Carolina style vinegar based sauce

Big Bob Gibson’s Championship red sauce
2 cups ketchup
2/3 cups dark brown sugar
1/2 cup distilled vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon celery seed

I actually heat this over low heat to help infuse all the flavors then let it cool.

I always pan my butts at about 160 to collect the drippings. While my butts are cooling I defat the drippings and add in ACV, pepper flakes and brown sugar to taste, simmer it a bit then mix it back into the pulled pork. It's more of a flavor enhancer than a sauce but it's damn good.

I like a Carolina mustard/vinegar based sauce like Big Daddy's recipe. http://bbq.about.com/od/barbecuesauc...r/blb00114.htm

(Except I don't add the liquid smoke because I've already smoked the pork.
