Here is a recipe of mine everybody has liked for a table sauce. I have learned to make more than I think I will need! Enjoy.
Smokehowze’s Spicy BBQ Sauce for Pulled Pork
I developed this sauce for pulled pork. It is especially good as a side sauce for pulled pork reheated out the freezer. It is spicy/flavorful but not too much heat. Increase the red pepper flakes if you like it hotter. Decrease cane syrup for more vinegar bite. In my household, we have come to prefer this over the variants that use brown sugar.
· 2/3 cup cider vinegar
· 2/3 cup ketchup
· 3 Tbs Steens Brand cane syrup (or something equivalent)
· 2 tsp dried red pepper flakes
· 1 tsp coarse grind black pepper
Add all ingredients into small sauce pan and heat slowly to a low boil stirring quite frequently. Cook for a few minutes to meld ingredients. May be cooled and used immediately. For best flavor, allow to cool and mature in fridge overnight.
