I don't sauce my ribs but I have used Texas Pepper Jelly's Apple/Cherry/Habanero Rib Candy as a finishing sauce twice on spares with outstanding results.
Don't knock it until you tried it :becky:Grey poupon mustard sauce on bbq is...well, if it works for you.

This is the ticket, I always wrap and use the rendering for added moistness and flavor on the finished product, well made pulled pork doesn't need BBQ sauce.

The mustard helps with emulsification. The vinegars,hot sauce, and wooster add a lot. The OP asked for a finishing sauce,which this is. Not a sauce to pour on for sure. Just add some while pulling along with a little rub that smoked with. 1 to 2 T per cup of PP.

Did you even read the title D? It's about pulled pork not ribs :becky:

I like to pull my pork butts ahead of time and remove any fat. I will mix about one cup of apple sauce for a 8-10 pound butt. Sauce it any way you want, or serve naked. Remember that the sugars in the sauce burn in roaster ovens or crock pots and they get hotter at the edges first, so mix from the outer edges to the middle often if sauced. If it is a bd party, do as much ahead of time so you are still part of the party and not the pooped cook...

As to your plans, pulled pork is better right off the pit, but can be reheated if required. I'd do an all-nighter and hold in an insulated cooler (up to 6 hrs or so) when done, pulling right before serving. Plan on 10 oz uncooked butt per person attending, and yes, the crock pot can used to keep hot, but I prefer chaffing pans in frames over the cans. (cheap at walmart, etc) Good luck with it.
i've never done a finishing sauce but sleepy smoker may be onto something. Me likes a vinegary sauce on me pulled pork! I think as long as it just keeps things moist then it's fine. Lots of people don't like any sauce....so I usually make couple different sauces and serve on the side.
I found this recipe on the internet a few months ago and have used it twice with outstanding results.
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
5 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons red pepper flake
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/3 cups water
After the pork is pulled and placed into whatever you plan to serve it from, pour roughly half of the sauce over the meat to keep it nice and moist. Then I take the remainder and pour it into a squeeze bottle so that each person can finish off their sandwich with more sauce. You may need to strain out the red pepper flake to avoid clogging up the squeeze bottle. I needed to do that the first time I prepared it and I think it turned out better that way.
When tasted on its own the sauce is pretty strong, and you may not think much of it. But when mixed with the pork something magical happens. Give it a try.
As far as what is necessary when serving your sandwiches... do whatever you'd like. You could serve it with multiple sauces so everyone can choose their favorite. If I went all out I would probably serve some of the vinegar pepper sauce I posted above, a nice bbq sauce like Blues Hog, and finally a mustard-based sauce.
Heck, I'll post that one too. This was also found on the internet pretty easily and was great as well.
1 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
Mix all ingredients (besides butter, soy sauce & liquid smoke) and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the butter, soy sauce & liquid smoke and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
I'd probably skip adding the liquid smoke all together since you are adding it to a butt you smoked yourself.
