Finely chopped garlic ...

2. Mine from Eastern NC

3 cups vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
salt to taste
A little Grenadine for color
1-3 tablespoons crushed red pepper (depending on hotness)
Small pinch Cinnamon

This is best on smaoked swine

4. that's pretty much what I use

but I've never tried the grenadine. That's interesting. I might grate a little onion in to thicken it up.

5. My favorite vinegar sauce (best with pulled-pig):

2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
1-2 teaspoons salt (I go light)
1-2 teaspoons fresh-ground black pepper (I go with 2)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I go with a sprinkle if my wife is around).

Serve room temperature or slightly chilled. This is my favorite with pork.

My favorite dry pig-rub (for a 6-8# Boston butt) is:

1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1/4 ground black pepper
1-2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon (or less) cayenne (more if you like a fiery pig)

My favorite Mop (basting sauce)

2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup chicken stock (I use 100% fat-free)
3 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons salt (or less)
1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne (again, adjust before fire-for-effect)

6. A bump for more recipes ...

This is serious business folks. I'm in Western North Carolina and "liberal_veteran's" thread is about vinegar-based BBQ sauce. I collect these recipes like baseball cards. I try those that sound good (most are).
