Recommendation of Sweet Vinegar based finishing sauce?

[Backpacker Brown]

I'm looking for a recipe for a sweet or semi-sweet vinegar based finishing sauce. Anybody got one? I'd appreciate a few suggestions .

Thanks,

Backpacker

My homemade sauce recipe is basically what you're describing, in case it strikes your fancy: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...riginal-shawsh

what is it going on?

[Backpacker Brown]

I'd like to try a light, sweet vinegar based sauce on pulled pork. Nothing strong, Just something to jazz it up a little.

Backpacker Brown Sorry i cant help you there. I like a hot thin venigar based sauce on my pork. Wife likes a sweet KC style sauce. I make both. to make matters even more complicated, my oldest son mixes them both together for pulled pork. Maybe like a balsamic based glaze I make for lamb?

[Backpacker Brown]

Thanks, Huskey. I'll give it a try. I've copied it and will fix it tomorrow.
Again, THANKS,

Backpacker

I look forward to your thoughts! Hope you enjoy it. I made a tiny edit to my sauce recipe that I was meaning to but kept forgetting. I've been adding an extra 1/4C of vinegar and no water, and I think it helps give it an even better vinegar zing.

Hey Huskee,

I fixed your sauce last nite and though it was quite good. I was like you in that I thought it needed a little more vinegar (and maybe a little less ketchup). I added about ¼ cup but it needs more.

What I am looking for is a thin sweet vinegar sauce i can mix in with the pulled pork when i'm pulling it.

Thanks for your help!

Hey Mr. Bones,

Your recipe sounds great, but as I told Huskee, I'm trying to find a light, sweet vinegar based sauce that I can add just after I pull the pork butt. Don't want to cover up any of the flavors from the smoke but just add a "hint" of sweet vinegar. Any ideas?

Rice vinegar

I was thinking the same thing, customtrim. Maybe even take the rice vinegar and mix in some of the rub.

Steve R. Mr. Bones made me think about it with the cucumber recipe he posted

[Mr. Bones]

Well, I have an idea that might help:
Start with what my ma n gma used to make cucumber n onion salad:
Water
Sugar
Vinegar

Adjust mixture until ya find th sweet/vinegar profile yer wantin to achieve.

I find it very hard to match flavour profiles, or viscosity, via this medium...

Might google th above salad fer basic dressin proportions, also worthwhile to google some vinegar slaw dressins, or vinegar based tater salad dressins, as well.

Hopefully, this might give ya some productive trees to bark up!

Best of luck in yer Quest, amigo!

Cain't wait to see what ya might come up with!

I got this from a search a few years ago:

1 Cup Cider Vinegar

2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

1 teaspon Tony C's cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon course black pepper

1 teaspoon red pepper



Combine and warm on a stove. Stir well. Apply to freshly pulled pork.

I tried it. I like it. Gonna try it on some Q that didn't turn out so swell.

Thanks

The suggestions by Customtrim and SteveR of rice vinegar and maybe add some run. Sounds worth trying. Thanks, guys!

10 lashes if your sauce doesn't begin with the drippings from your wrap.

This may be what you're looking for. Bubba-Lina Sauce.

There's a typo in the blog post that doesn't specify how much tomato paste is called for. The book version says 1/2 cup.

I make a modified version that cuts the ingredients in half, replaces the tomato paste with 1 cup ketchup, and omits the water. I also add a lot more cayenne.

[Backpacker Brown]

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I've got some recipes and will mix 'em up just to try 'em. Again, THANKS

Or try MH's Carolina sauce and just up the sugar a bit?
