This is a multi-purpose recipe that's also good for Chicken, ribs and pork on a grill. Save this recipe!!

Pulled Pork BBQ

7/8 c cider vinegar

5/8 c peanut oil

5/8 c fresh lemon juice

1/3 c dark brown sugar

13 ounces ketchup

2 ounces Dijon mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons Coleman's English mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

2 1/4 teaspoons garlic, minced

1/4 c Jack Daniel's Green (I use whatever is in the house at the time.)

 

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan, except Jack Daniel's. Bring to a boil and

reduce to low heat.  Add Jack, simmer for two hours.  Reduce the sauce by

about one third.  Mix 1 cup BBQ sauce with 3/4 cup pulled pork in small

sauté pan and reduce sauce by about one half.  Serve on warm buns...ha ha.

I also use it on the grill with ribs and chicken.

...and for the pork itself:

Pork Tenderloin recipe with a spicy rub.

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

above and enjoy.
