I know a lot of people that enjoy Smokin Okie's finishing sauce.


Smokin Okie's Pulled Pork Baste & Serving Sauce

I have no idea where this originated, I got it and modified it after someone else modified it... so here it is to enjoy for all.

I use this on pulled pork starting about 1/2 way through cooking (after the smoke stops).

Mop this on the pork warm. I've also used this on the meat when it's done -- I just spoon some sauce over pulled pork right on the bun.

(makes about 5 cups)

4 cups apple juice
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoon dry mustard
4 tablespoon brown sugar
3 bay leaf
6 cloves of garlic
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cayenne (I sometimes use Hungarian Paprika)
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (the secret ingredient)


Heat all of the ingredients in a nonreactive pan (the acid in the vinegar will react with some pans be careful) Bring it to a boil, reduce and simmer for 15 min.

I make extra and put it in the fridge and it should last for a couple of months. But it's never around that long.

When I put some pork in food saver bags, I'll put some of this sauce in there with it -- when I reheat the pork it taste just like the first time.

Enjoy it.
Good Q'in

I try not to use finishing sauce for pulled pork, BUT I do do a mustard sauce on the side...other than that, it might be drippings with apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, rub and water as needed.
 
I've been adding the au jus from foiled ribs (brown sugar, honey, butter). It adds a different flavor profile that I haven't had anywhere else and I love it. I normally cook for the inlaws and they're allergic to vinegar so it doesn't leave me many options.

I'm cooking two butts today and I'm going to pull a little in a separate pan so I can try one of the finishing sauces above...they look so good! Now which one to try? Hmmm
 
I give a few shakes of this once it is about to be served, I have also been known to spritz some of this during the cooking process (have to strain the chili flakes)

I love to make my own but normally I'm too lazy so my favorite would probably be just a jazzed up sweet baby rays with sriracha, apple cider vinegar, and whatever else I feel like throwing in.
