FunkyZero's personal recipe.
This is my default for pulled pork. It's an excellent thin sauce for topping sammichez. Keep in mind, I like it on the sweeter side, although sweet is not how to describe this one).
This is a tart/hot/sweet mix. It has that creep-up-on-you warmth that doesn't blister your tongue and make you suffer, but it is richly warm. No bite.
It's cheap and fast, try it sometime for giggles. I put it in a restaurant style ketchup squirt bottle after it cools down and sprinkle it on anything pork.
========================
2 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 packed cup brown sugar, or more to taste (it's moderately sweet with one cup)
5 teaspoons salt
8 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
Put it all in a sauce pan and mix, heat on very low heat for about 1/2 hour. Remember, sugar! Keep stirring it frequently with a whisk.
I usually strain the red pepper flakes out and discard after it's cooked well. I suppose you could leave them in if you like that.
