I pretty much only use the Carolina red from virtual Weber bullet now for pulled pork. I like the bite it has.

1.5 cups apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix them together until dissolved and serve.

I asked the same question on the old board and that was the answer I received. I think it's kind of funny. It's a good recipe. I had it recorded as "Bingo Ank!" for at least a couple of years before I found out where the name came from. 

At some point I saw the exact same recipe posted on TigerDroppings. It was simply labeled South Carolina mustard sauce. Along with it was posted a recipe for a North Carolina sweet vinegar sauce. I made that too and it's good if that's what you're in to. I prefer the mustard sauce. Usually I just use a locally made habanero chipotle hot sauce but I'll make the mustard sauce for variety. 

Here's the recipe for the North Carolina sweet vinegar sauce:

* 16oz distilled white vinegar
* 8oz ketchup
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 2 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
* 1/4 tablespoon kosher salt
* 1/4 teaspoon paprika
* 1 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
* 1 teaspoon course black pepper

I was skeptical of the South Carolina mustard-based sauce idea until I tried it.  Gamechanger.  I don't always sauce my pulled pork, but when I do, I prefer a mustard sauce.

Found this recipe on Serious Eats a few years ago and made a few slight modifications.  

  • 3/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey (originally called for 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar (originally 1 tablespoon, but I use less)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Or, if I'm feeling lazy, this stuff is really good, too:

Pork has so much fat content you really need a sauce with a lot of acid content to balance it out. That means your sauce should be pretty darned thin and not very sweet

 

You just perfectly described the one from Pecan Lodge that @C-Man referenced above.  So, this must be right.  Because it really is fantastic.

I smoke my pulled pork in a foil pan so I can save the drippings.

 

I also add:

1/2 can Dr Pepper

1 skunked Miller High Life

1/2 cup ACV

1/2 cup apple juice

It's just enough liquid that it doesn't affect the meat in a negative way, and mixed with the drippings and rub creates a mean sauce.

I mix up equal parts pickle juice and yellow mustard with a shot of hot sauce and drizzle just enough to make things moist while pulling and tossing. 

This also perfectly describes my preferred method of masturbation.
