Mother's day BBQ sauce or crap!!!! I don't have any sauce sauce

[drtheo]

So I am not a BBQ sauce guy, I am more of a bark and vinegar finishing for pulled pork kind of guy.

So we are having pulled pork for lunch / supper today and I did not have any sauce for some visitors that wanted sauce.

This is what I came up with, it is a basic recipe modified to be a bit better.

1, 1/3 cup ketchup
1 cup ACV
1cup brown sugar
2 tsp each salt pepper and cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
4 tsp honey
4 tsp bourbon
4 tsp smoked paprika

And simmer on stove

My mom always made one in a pinch out of ketchup a dash of mustard and Pepsi in a mini crock pot. I’m sure there’s more to it but it was pretty good

Only thing I see missing is molasses

Oh yeah!

I even like using molasses in brines.
Just cut back on the sugar if the recipe calls for it.

I made up some of @chef jimmyj j finishing sauce. For half I doubled the brown sugar (swerve) and added a few tablespoons of sugar free ketchup. Several friends said it was the best bbq sauce ever had. I’ll have it in my frig always now.

Molasses is something I did not have on hand

I always keep a big ol' bottle of Wholesome brand organic unsulphured on hand.
It's good for adding to sauces and beans.
Heck, I even use a little bit on briskets to help the rub stick.

If you wish, make a double/triple Batch for your friends or share the recipe. That is one of my favorites. I too add more Sweetener, as my Yankee Kids prefer sauces sweeter.

I read that as BISQUITS. I smear Molasses on Biscuits to help the Bacon Stick!...JJ

Now Jimmy, you know us southern boys will put blackstap on anything.
I reckon that is why to this day I detest sugar in corn bread.
That's what molasses is for!

When I was younger I was allergic to chocolate or at least they thought I was. I grew up drinking molasses milk when my brother got chocolate milk.

And maybe a good dose of Frank's red hot.

He already listed straight vinegar

WOW. Same here. Never heard of anyone else have this... No one remembers how/why/or when but totally fine now.

Definitely not a sauce guy myself especially on PP but always have FBR for "those people" who want it. That said, Chef JJ finish sauce would be what I'd typically serve for PP for a party etc.
