Vinegar Sauce for Pulled Pork

[Mikhail]

Then there's Sir Porkalot's Lexington style finishing sauce. I have used this a lot and really like it.

Lexington Style Finishing Sauce





Ingredients

2 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes (or up to 1 tablespoon, if you like hotter sauce)
1/2 teaspoon coarsely-ground black pepper


Mix all ingredients together and let sit 10 minutes. Add to chopped barbecue when hot to season the meat and keep it from drying out.

Blues hog original and Tennessee Red...mixed 50/50. Perfect mix of sweet and heat.

Yes, good but not a vinegar sauce.

3 cups apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
6 Tbs. light brown sugar
3 Tbs. sugar
1.5 Tbs. kosher salt
2 tsp. white pepper
2 tsp. red chile flakes
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

The right stuff ^^^^^

It’s almost identical to mine that Mikhail posted above

Eastern NC sauces are usually just vinegar & some spices. Western NC they add some ketchup into the mix.

Both are very good, and my favorite sauces with pork.

Another vote for simple but perfect balance of sweet, heat, and acidity that pairs so well with pork Q.

I did grow up eating BBQ in lexington, so there's probably some bias in my opinion...

I like Lexington style vinegar sauces. The ketchup gives it a little more body while not being too thick. Myron Mixon has a good vinegar sauce recipe. I use it a lot. Similar to Lexington style but also adds a fair amount of hot sauce.

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce

It is quite good. I like George’s also, but lately have been gravitating to KH vinegar cut with KH the bbq sauce 50/50

Tennessee Red mixed 1:1 with regular white vinegar is my go to for chopped smoked pork. Just enough to coat, not soak.

Yes, but it also has a lot of sugar, and some decent heat. Cutting it with white vinegar makes a great vinegar finishing sauce that everyone will love. Just don't over do it. Coat it, don't soak it.
