Sauce for a butt

Mithrandir

Hi everyone ! I'm wondering what BBQ sauce do you use with pulled pork ? I'm cooking for my family on sunday for my daughter's first birthday and i'd love to impress my guests with a nice homemade sauce !

Do some searching here for a Carolina style vinegar sauce.
Super on pulled pork.

This is this one I make. It's pretty tangy, but we like it.

Check out amazingribs.com, I love their rub recipe (Memphis Dust) and I'm sure they have some great BBQ sauces for pulled pork.

I'm not sure when I gave him this, but he may have it written down, more so than out of my head.  @JohnnyTarheel thanks me all the time for the sauce recipe I gave him (but I cannot remember what I said or gave him).  

This is the base.  Get this in your pot, bring it to a simmer, and taste it.  Add what you want to suit you.  

2 cups cider vinegar 

2 cups ketchup (I like Hunts)

1-2 cups of water 

1 cup sugar (I like brown)

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon ground red pepper (you can add Cayenne too)

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 - 2 tablespoons real butter

Dashes of Worcestershire

Juice of a lemon 

A couple things I've added before are: molasses, more brown sugar, some hot sauce (Texas Pete), garlic powder, onion powder.

if im feeding a crowd i like to do two sauces, the vinegar sauce is served room temp, the other is served warm. i add some of the vinegar sauce when pulling sometimes then the other goes on top. these are from elderwards directions for pulled pork. it will give everyone an understanding of these two different styles

The Traditional North Carolina Sauce (A) 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.

• 1 C cider vinegar
