Pork Shoulder Mop Sauce

[FoxmanNC]

Hey guys & gals, I am in need of a good pork mop sauce for a smoking a pork shoulder/butt. What is your famous mop sauce recipe?

I used this mop from Malcolm Reed this weekend. Pretty standard standard stuff: acv, oil, woosy, rub:

Edit: i have on other cooks added apple juice and skipped the oil: that will result in a much firmer thicker bark, depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a carolina style vinegar/pepper mop i can pull out the Rodney Scott book…

HI! Hope Yur enjoying the new smoker !
What I do with a Pork Butt ,smoking on my grill.
I season the crap out of the Pork the day before and put it in the fridge, turning it over a few times. So the liquid gets absorbed. Meat will release it.
MY Spice mix: Paprika ,onion, garlic, oregano, white pepper, cayenne pepper, kosher salt , brown sugar. Adjust spices to Yur liking. Add more to spice it up ?
Put in a zip lock and in the fridge you go !
Grilling: Put roast on a rack above a pan.
Add Apple juice/cider to pan 1/2 in or more.
As the juice evaporates, ad Water only! No more juice : Too much Acid.
I mop with the juice.
Not sure if that is what Yur asking ?
It works for me doing pulled pork !

SOFLA is good. Buddy of mine got married in NC and Chef JJ Jimmys "finishing sauce" is a DEAD RINGER for what I had there. Toss up actually made both we went with Jimmy's for daughters grad party. Regardless take it easy with the stuff.

I really miss those days, no drama, just guys and gals that actually cooked on the PRO circuit helping new guys like me, back then, learn to smoke and prepare good grub. I use my own version of soflaquers finishing sauce as a mop as well.
I replace the BRN sugar with approx. 1/4 cup of honey, and add a palm full of crushed red pepper flakes. (the kind that people use on pizza) maybe like 2 TBLs worth. Then I heat the sauce at med heat, just long enough to melt the honey and open up the other ingredients, then let it cool before using.

I also often use pepper vinegar, which is always on my table.
Which is a palm full of kosher salt, some black pepper corns, and whatever dried peppers I have on hand from the Mexican store. Then either A.C. or white Vinegar. Stuff the peppers into a cool bottle, like a Blanton's or Patron bottle, then add everything else to it.
(I keep topped off with vinegar and peppers as needed, maybe a little salt now and then as well). I love the pepper vinegar on pork, chicken, fish, white rice, and veggies. It's a staple condiment on my table, I've got many people hooked on it, everyone adds or subtracts things to it to suit their tastes.


Both of the above are great mops as well.

Good luck.
Dan.

I really miss Chef JJ as well, he always helped me convert large recipes down to smaller amounts, because it's just my wife and me at the house.
JJ was a really cool dude, and his finishing sauce is excellent.
Man, I really miss those days, this thread sure is bringing back a lot of good memories, all we need now is for someone to post up Bear's version of mop/ finishing sauce.

You guys are great! Thank you so much. I have a big cook for the church I serve at in August and am planning on doing some cooks between now and then to work on my craft.

2TBL black pepper
2 TBL sugar ( I used dark brown )
1/2 tsp red pepper ( I use flakes )

Melt the butter , add the rest of the ingredients , simmer and cool .

I've done cooks for my Church's food pantry. Pulled pork done earlier in the week. Vac packed (or ziploc) with SoFlaquers finishing sauce. We reheat the vac bags in hot water. Folks really like the home made BBQ
meal.

The sauce I use is a combination mop/finishing sauce. Little more involved than some but delicious on all bbq meats.

These guys got you covered. SoFla and Chef JJ's sauces are two of my favorites to date, always well loved when I use them.
