I can't mess with toof now?
Very nice!
Btw, you won't hear me apologize often, so you may want to put that in your sigfile. ~Mergie
People always ask me if they can take that sauce home and ask if I have extra.
It's a true eastern NC pig sauce
Super simple, don't over think it or kweer it up.............over 100 years in my family and lots of other families
I am 63 and my great granddad and my grandfather raised tobacco when I was young, they celebrated the tobacco being "put up" with a huge hog cooking for all the field help and the ladies that "tied" the tobacco.
Usually two hogs killed and cooked on a sheet of barn roof tin, in a hole in the ground with hardwood coals under it.
We'd set up all night with a fire to replenish the embers as needed.
1 gallon of brown apple cider vinegar dumped in a pot, pot is on a burner, low heat
1 fat cup of brown sugar (dissolves real easy in the warm vinegar}
between a 1/4 and 1/3 box of Morton salt (yes, that much salt}
3 tablespoons of crushed red pepper flakes
1 fat tablespoon of Lowery's Season Salt (we learned it has pretty much the same ingredients as the other spices he added)
Don't bring it to a boil, i think it adds a bitterness to the red pepper flakes when they boil, just get it hot and stir it all along.
I double the above and have two gallons, one is used for mopping and to pour into the pig's cavity once he is flipped and the other
is used in wetting the chopped BBQ mix and put on the table for guest

Hell, everyone ought to pull their own pork and make a little sauce once in awhile.
Even better if you can get someone else to do it for you while you kick back and drink a beer and watch.

I have never cooked a whole hog, but it seems damn intimidating. Great job!
Had a conversation with a group of people recently and was amazed at how many have never been apart of a whole hog cooking. It's always been a normal occurrence around holidays and big events to me.
