The fam is not all that crazy about bbq sauce and I am planning to do some cubed up pork belly.  Any suggestions on doing them without bbq sauce?

Thanks

    Wing sauce?  Teriyaki?  Hot sauce?    Balsamic dressing or glaze?

    Something Korean. BBQ with a twist.

    Butter, brown sugar and bourbon, mixed together and brushed over towards the end of the cook. That should do it.

    I love the suggestions.  I really like the butter, brown sugar and bourbon idea.  What's not to like about that combination.  What are the ratios of each?

    Thanks

    Great ideas above-you can always get them close and then apply different sauces (or nekked) for the finish.  Good luck with keeping the mixed bag sorted out.  Great groceries await.

    Mango (or similar) Pepper jelly. 

    If it was closer to winter I would say cook down some apple jelly with cinnamon and a sweet bourbon.

    @RajunCajun - when I did the butter, brown sugar and bourbon glaze, I used 1/2 stick of butter and the other two to taste, just dumped them in and tasted it until I liked it. Sorry, no measurements, but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to mess it up.

    I've had good results w. both rubs and marinades started at least 12 hours earlier. If you like heat, and can find it, Walkerwood's Jamaican Jerk paste seasoning rubbed on the day works really well. It is, to me a little bitter, but I guess that is part of the bite.

    Butter is always good. Sesame oil w. citrus zest and a bit of cayenne works pretty well too.
