East Carolina Pulled Pork Sauce Using Molasses

East Carolina Pulled Pork Sauce

While some types of barbecue only use certain cuts of pork, Eastern-style uses nearly every edible part of the hog. The seasoning is made using vinegar and peppers, which enhances the flavor of the meat rather than competing with it. There is no ketchup or tomato-based sauce in the recipe. You might use cider vinegar for a base and spices like black pepper, cayenne, crushed red pepper, salt, and hot sauce. Sugar and water are sometimes added too.

Note

Even though pulled pork is easy to make, there is quite the process involved to turn a large pork shoulder into pulled pork, and for it to be delicious. Behrmann Meats makes a great tasting pulled pork which you can purchase at Times Right buy the pound.
