the only hard part is putting your beer down while stirring it

Quirky!

Yes, I know there are a ton of great store-bought BBQ Sauces out there. They come in infinite flavors from super hot to super sweet to super smoky, and I like to try them all when I can. Sweet Baby Ray's happens to be my favorite. But today, while making a pork tenderloin, I noticed that I had a lot of left over pan drippins and decided to make my own Homemade BBQ Sauce.

What You Need

You don't have this, so make your own.

It's pretty simple. If you are grilling, smoking, or slow cooking pork, you need to keep back some of the cooking liquid after you are done. While smoking or grilling, a foil pan under the meat will do just fine. If you are using a slow cooker, the liquid is already in there, just use a ladle and grab some.

Now, on to the list of shit you need:

  • 3 cups of your pork liquid. If you do not have a full three cups, use some chicken broth.
  • 1 cup of brown sugah
  • One more half cup of brown sugah. Reserve this back, just in case you need to use it.
  • 3 Tablespoons of ketchup
  • 3 Tablespoons of yellow mustard
  • 1 full tablespoon of fresh cracked black pepper. Make it chunky.
  • 1/2 cup of my own special homemade hot sauce.[1]
  • Random dried herbs and spices. I use garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and some smoked paprika.
  • 1 cup of Frank's RedHot™ sauce. Use half a cup of it first, then check later if it needs more.
  • Apple cider vinegar as needed. Just buy a gallon of the cheap stuff and give your sauce a shot of it from time to time, depending on how it tastes.
  • 1 table spoon of coarse salt, as needed.

Method

Pulled pork with sauce.

Put all your pork drippins into a wide cooking vessel. You want lots of surface space because you are going to be reducing this down until it becomes a glossy sauce that has the consistency of ketchup.
