Pig Pickin Sauce

Adopted recipe. Please note that this is not a sweet BBQ sauce at all. If you are looking for a "Memphis" or "Kansas City" style sauce, with tomatoes and molasses or brown sugar, please look elsewhere or you will be disappointed. Eastern North Carolina is where you would find the original inspiration for this. Traditionally, a whole hog is cooked and this style of sauce is used both for the mop and on the side. I really like this stuff, it's a nice change from sweet sauces and makes a dynamite mop, as well. Keeps in a covered container in the fridge almost indefinitely.

I made this to braise my pulled pork in order to keep it tender and moist and it was wonderful! I altered the recipe a bit and used 1/2 c vinegar, 1/4 c brown sugar, and added a few red pepper flakes. Some sweetness, with a touch of heat. MMMMM!

    This is outstanding with Mean Chef's Pulled Pork Sandwich recipe! We were not sure if we liked this, as we taste tested without the meat. But generously spooned onto the meat-yum!!!!!

    Delicious. An absolute must with pulled pork. The vinegar really enhances the sweetness of the pork, and the pepper adds a good hint of heat. I think a previous reviewer who felt it was too strong simply used too much of it... it should be applied judiciously, just enought to moisten the meat and flavor it, not poured on like a typical red barbecue sauce.

    This sauce is one of the three I made to go with your pulled pork. It was good, but a little too vinegary for our tastes. I'm glad we tried it but will probably stick to the molasses bbq sauce next time. We felt it took away from the flavours of the rub and the pork and kinda took our breath away with the vinegar. Thanks for the experience, it was worth trying!!
