That could start a war!

I think one of the best things about pulled pork is that it really doesn't need any sauce at all. This leaves the choice of sauce completely up to the sandwich maker. I like mustard sauce sometimes. If you're interested in a recipe, my wife makes a thin vinegar sauce that combines with cole slaw and pulled pork for a sandwich that makes you think you've died and gone to heaven. My all time favorite, though, is Gates from Kansas City. I am not a fan of syrupy BBQ sauce at all. Gates is spicy almost to the point of hot (some wimps say it is hot) with not enough sugar to even register on my taste buds.

But then, my wife says, "If it needs sauce, you did something wrong."

This is the traditional North Carolina sauce I grew up with. This would be from my mothers side of the family who are a bunch of flatlanders near the coast. We only came down out of the hills to see them just enough to keep the peace in the family and my mother from running back home for good. She hated the mountains. We all loved her folks.

Here's another finishing sauce for pulled pork. Put the brown sugar in the vinegar first, before the other ingredients. If your vinegar is at room temperature, just stir until fully dissolved, otherwise gently heating in a pan while stirring will dissolve it. Then add all the other ingredients and refrigerate. Put in to a dispensing bottle and mix in to the pulled pork. Give a shake before dispensing.

Finishing Sauce for Pulled Pork

1 Cup Cider Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 Teaspoon Coarse Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Sorry for the delay, BP, I had to split a cord of hickory this morning.

You've had plenty of recipes past along that are essentially the same. This one is from one of my favorite barbecue cook books, Smoke and Spice by Cheryl and Bill Jamison.

Vaunted Vinegar Sauce

1 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or hot red pepper flakes (my favorite)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Keeps indefinitely.
