Smoke Shack Southern Style Sloppin' Sauce For Pulled Pork

Sauces

2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder

Mix all the ingredients together - except for the salt* - in a stainless steel pot. Bring just to a boil, then simmer for a minute or two (this helps cut the bite of the vinegar). Add the salt, stir until dissolved, then remove from heat and allow to cool. Makes 4 cups. Use this as you would a marinade for pork or chicken. If you wish to use this as a baste, you should add oil (I add 1/2 - 3/4 cup margarine to mine for the flavor and oil) and heat thoroughly. You can also add beer to the mix. You can, of course, add hot sauce to your heart's content. *Never add salt to a liquid in a stainless steel pot unless the liquid is hot/boiling. Salt will of course sink, and if it is not quickly dissolved will pit your expensive pot.
