Great Mop Sauce For Easter or ANYTIME! | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

This is my first addition to the forum so bear with me.. So I was recently in Arkansas with my family and my brother and I came across pork butt for .89 a pound! So just like any other person we bought 50lbs! My brother just recently made a reverse osmosis smoker for a friend of his and with the leftover metal we had to make one! After some fun and some beer we finally made the smoker and were off to the races. Then once we had the pork in the smoker he said "Its time to make some mop sauce!" I gave him an odd look, and wondered what the world he meant. I was happy to find out! If you don't know what mop sauce is heres a quick explanation. Glazing with barbecue sauce in the last few minutes adds fast flavor, mop sauces are best for flavoring tough meats you’re going to be cooking for long periods of time. Thinner than barbecue sauces, mop sauces are typically made from beer, vinegar or apple cider, and are basted onto the meat every 20 minutes using a small mop or brush, ensuring maximum flavor infusion throughout the cooking process. This recipe he uses is great for pulled pork sandwiches even on your breakfast food, its amazing. So with all that aside here it is!
