Many home grill cooks are not willing to share some of their recipes. Lucky for you I am not one of them
Here I share my recipe for pulled pork sauce. I would not claim that it is award-winning, but it could be after all the compliments I received.
Not only does it taste good, but it is also easy to make. When you have all the ingredients ready, it should take no longer than 20 minutes to make.
It can be kept in the refrigerator for a long time. But my experience is that it does not last that long because you can also use it for other pork recipes.
