Jim's favorite bbq pork soakin' sauce

Yield: 2 servings

Measure Ingredient
1 cup White vinegar
1½ cup Cider vinegar
½ cup Water
1 large Yellow onion; dice & saute
4 larges Garlic cloves; mince & saute
½ cup Brown sugar; packed
2 \N Whole fresh lemon; sliced with peel and pulp removed
1 large Bay leaf
¾ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
¾ teaspoon Ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Vegetable salad oil
4 tablespoons Water
1½ cup Chili sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Soy sauce; (optional)
1 tablespoon Dry mustard

This sauce is added to boston butt pork right off the grill and shredded for BBQ sandwiches. About 30 minutes before mealtime, add enough sauce to the pork for it to "puddle" slightly around the meat.

Put all, except for last 5 ingredients, in a 3 quart covered sauce pan and simmer for 1 hour. Remove pan from heat and add remaining ingredients. Mix well, recover, and set aside for at least 2 hours allowing flavors to blend.

*If desired, some of the sauce may be prepared extra "spicy" for use at the table to enhance the BBQ sandwich flavor. Put ¾ cup of the sauce in a separate saucepan, add an additional ¼ ts red pepper flakes and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add another ½ ts dry mustard (make a paste with a tad bit of cold water). Put in a small pouring pitcher and pass around table. Be sure to have enough cold beer to go with this sauce.

The sauces will stay fresh for 2 weeks under refrigeration - just long enough for seconds on that butt.
