Used as a marinade after pork butt has finished smoking and is resting
Ingredients:
1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup hot sauce (we used Frank's)
1 tbs salt
1 tbs coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbs red pepper flakes
1/4 cup sugar
In a stockpot over medium heat, combine the vinegar, ketchup, and hot sauce. Stir together. Pour in all the remaining ingredients and stir to dissolve. Do not boil.
When the spices are thoroughly dissolved, take the pot off the heat, funnel the sauce in a bottle. The sauce will keep, refrigerated, for up to 1 year.
Smoke your pork shoulder to about 180 for 6 hours, put it in an aluminum pan, add a cup of vinegar sauce over the top, cover the pan with aluminum foil cook it to 205 internal temperature in oven at 275 for 2 hours. Turn off oven and let it rest 1 hour. Shred meat and mix meat with sauce in pan.
