Sauce for Pulled Pork

Bassman · December 19, 2005, 03:47:38 PM

On Saturday I smoked 2 pork butts.Each were 6 1/2lbs. After FTC'n removed fat and then chopped coarsely I never chopped it up before I always left it stringy. I'll be serving it at a party this coming weekend and would like to have a really good store bought sauce. Time restaints will not allow me to attempt to make one. Besides my first attempt was pretty bad, I ended up dumping it down the drain. Does anybody know what a good sauce is? Not too sweet, not to vinegary, just right. Thanks!

I use Zarda bbq sauce (original). It's out of KC so I don't know about availability everywhere. Very good, I buy it a case at a time when I am in KC.

Thanks for bringing this up. I'm in exactly the same situation. I chopped mine and was happy with how it turned out. I've made some sauces and often they were vinegary and almost always more work than they were worth. I'll be sure and check out Sam's.

BigSmoker recommended a simple sauce to me a while ago that I really like with BB: 2 parts ketchup + 1 part apple cider vinegar, with black pepper to taste. Simple and tasty!

this is what i do...

bottle of balsamic vinager and bottle of crushed red pepper...

put a bunch of crushed red pepper in the bottle of balsamic vinager and let it soak... ives used it the same day and ive used it a few weeks later... it will stay good if referiged...

pour 1 cup of the mix for 1 butt... stir up real good... and that all a smoked butt needs... sometimes i will throw some grocery store bbq sauce on top that and stir up real good...

you gotta eat...
