Hello All!

My brother insists on having a pulled pork competition at our families
annual 4th of July bash. Everyone knows that my pork is much better than
his, but to even the field he is insisting that we have a "sweet, ketchup
based BBQ sauce" in addition to the vinegar sauce I usually serve.

Will someone share a BBQ (sweet, ketchup) recipe that would go good with a
heavily rubbed pulled pork? I'd really like to kick his a** so that next
year I can tell him what to do with his BBQ sauce.

Thanks in advance.

Smokin' Tim

Heck Tim, to even the field completely have two seperate competitions. 1.
Just the meat. 2. Sauce.

My first inclination would be to just say "no".

My second inclination would be to get a bottle of KC Masterpiece,
dump it into a bowl, goose it with some Buffalo Chipotle sauce
and pretend it's home-made.

You're probably right with the KC Masterpiece (shudder!), but I'd probably
use Blues Hog original sauce. KC Masterpiece sure does appeal to the
masses, though.

Chef Juke's Raspberry-Chipotle Barbecue Sauce

NOTE: This is a slight variation on the classic Kansas City Barbecue
sauce
from the KC Barbecue Association, for those who like their BBQ Hot &
Smoky!

6 Tbls. packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbls dark rum
2 Tbls yellow mustard
1 Tbls pure chili powder
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 cup Chipotles en Adobo
2 cups ketchup
2 cups Raspberry Preserves (I use Wall's Raspberry preserves from
Costco)
Kosher or sea salt
Pepper

In large saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, molasses, honey,
Worcestershire,
rum, mustard, chili powder, pepper, garlic powder, allspice and
cloves.
Bring to simmer over medium heat. Cook, uncovered, until all
ingredients are
dissolved, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup and
bring
to boil, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Reduce heat slightly, add raspberry jam and 1/4 cup chipotles** and
gently
simmer sauce, uncovered, until dark & thick, about 30 minutes,
stirring
often. Use right away or transfer to jars, cover, cool to room
temperature
and refrigerate. Sauce will keep several months. Makes 5 cups or 20
servings.

**Add the chipotle peppers to taste. Since simmering will bring out
the heat
in the peppers start by adding ¼ cup of chipotles and cook for the 30
minutes THEN taste again and add additional peppers if you like it
REALLY
HOT.

Two notes:
First, Chefjuke didn't mention honey in his ingredients list (it's in
the
directions), so I just dumped in about a TBS worth. Worked fine.
Second,
take him seriously about the chipotles in adobo sauce. Them suckers
are
tasty and hot. Start out with the recommended dosage and add more
after you
taste it.

I've never tried this on pulled pork and it's not really a
ketchup based sauce, but it has some in it if that counts.

I got this along time ago while in Hawaii. It took alot of
begging and groveling but eventually I wore the s.o.b. down
;-) It's not cheap to make and it's definitely different
but worth a try.

1 large can frozen orange juice - don't add any water
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup (HEINZ)
1/2 cup of mustard (regular yellow, not dry)
1/2 cup of whiskey (anything that ya got, cheap stuff works
fine)
1/4 cup soy sauce (optional)
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce (I recomment L&P)
Grated onion and garlic to taste (I wouldn't advise using dried)
dump everything in a blender and mix

(I add a touch of coarse salt and fresh ground pepper but
that's not in the original... I just can't follow a recipe)

Another variation, depending on what I'm looking for is some
chipotle peppers or tabasco, etc.

Freezes well.

I can certainly vouch for the above recipe. (Try to use seedless jam in it)

Tim,
Here's one a pitboss here in Austin gave me for a good, sweet(and
slightly spicy)side sauce:

DT's BBQ Sauce

* 3/4 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup ketchup
* 1/3 cup molasses
* 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 3 tablespoons prepared mustard
* 3 cloves garlic
* 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I'd use more-fm)
* 1/4 tablespoon ground black pepper
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* I can of crushed pineapple about 10 oz. (I
alternate-apricots/peaches/plums-whatever you got-fm)

Heat the oil up with the garlic until it's soft, then add the
other ingredients on low heat until mixed. Makes enough.
Don't be ashamed to use sauce if you like it.

You said "no", of course. He wants you to cover up the good flavor of your
pork with a sickly sweet sauce giving him the advantage. True test is the
meat alone. Don't give in and lower your standards.

Tell him what to do with his BBQ sauce NOW! Go with yer vinegar sauce. It's
probably part of why your pulled pork is better. ;-)

However, you can't go wrong with

It's interesting to note that of the six or seven posts, three of them were
of Chef Juke's recipe.

Haven't seen him around here lately. Hope yer OK, Jukester.

Sorry 'bout that. I just noticed it. If I don't CR after the page down, it
gets included with the OP. Will try better in future.

That's because that sauce is bitchin' (If you HAVE to have sauce at all)

Thanks all for the responses. I like the idea of refusing to participate
with the BBQ sauce portion of the contest, and saving some self-respect, but
if I can beat him at his own game he just might leave it alone for a few
years.

I think I'll try some the Chef Juke's recipe ahead of time and see how I
like it. At the very least, I'm going with a sauce that I like.

Again, Thanks all!

Buy the one-gallon jug of Maul's Original Recipe barbecue sauce. It doesn't
get much more sickening-sweet and tomatoey than that. I live in St. Louis
where it's made, and I don't even care for it much. Except maybe on chicken,
rarely.

I'm not sure there's anything he can do with the particular version he
has. The problem is that Google Groups, when doing replies, sets the
header line:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Some versions of OE don't handle quoted-printable well.

Ketchup -based sauce on pork (or anything for that matter)??? Blecht!

It almost makes one feel sorry for the millions of people who lack

Peach based BBQ Sauce. I don't measure, so you might have to play a bit
with it yourself, but I'll try to give approximations.

Juice from one large can of peaches.
1.5 cups ketchup
..5 cup mustard
several squirts worchestireshire
pinch of clove
tsp black pepper
tsp salt

Then I add some of the rub mixture I used for the meat, as well as the
amount of hot pepper flakes I want to get the heat I want as well.

Cook until boiling, then simmer for about 15min.

Like I said, I don't measure, I just put everything in and taste as I go...
sauce is never exactly the same two times in a row, but always close. *g*
