Simple Pulled Pork Finishing Sauce Recipe

This pulled pork finishing sauce is a traditional cider vinegar-based sauce that offers a tangy pop with a kick of heat.

Finishing Sauce Recipe Ingredients

This is for a super small batch (the bottle above).

Combine in a mixing bowl:

• 1/2 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 tsp granulated garlic
• 1 tsp coarse black pepper
• 2 tbsp turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw)
• 1 tsp Red Jalapeno flakes (or Red pepper flakes)
• 1 tbsp sweet paprika

If you’re after a mustard or tomato-based sauce instead, use one of my other recipes:

Making This Sauce is as Simple as Combining in a Mixing Bowl

No need to heat or anything just whisk thoroughly.

Note: Before using, shake the bottle.

The solids, like the peppercorns and chili flakes, will settle to the bottom.
