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.

Simply fabulous with pulled pork. Made my own buns "soft As Wonder" White Bread, coleslaw from Dinosaur BBQ, and Crock Pot Pulled Pork. Can't get better than this! Love it! I buttered the buns and grilled them before topping them with pork and slaw per Chef #277594. Thanks much for posting this!

    Incredible. I added a little bit more brown sugar. I was worried about how much it tasted like vinegar, but when I mixed it in with the pork, it was perfect. The acidity cut the fattiness of the pork. The most highly praised pulled pork sandwiches were those with a mixture of some pork with the pig pickin sauce and some pork with mean chef's molasses bbq sauce.

    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!!
