    Wow! Closest recipe I've found to what I grew up eating in Eastern North Carolina. We like to use pork tenderlions and a slow cooker. When the meat is finished cooking add the sauce. I did add a little brown sugar and a dash of liquid smoke. The finishing touch is cole slaw with a few dashes of texas pete on a hamburger bun. Delicious"

    I browned a pork tenderloin on the grill, then transferred it to a crock pot with this sauce. Six hour later..,. yummmm. Coleslaw, roasted potato salad and I am in N.C. heaven down here where there's way too much sugar associated with the pig!

    Great recipe! Just like I like it. I agree about adding hot sauce and serving it with coleslaw on a hamburger bun! Woo-hoo!

    if you do not have a smoker i reccommend using a slow cooker and adding a little nit of liquid smoke. It will do, although smoking is really the only way...

    The sauce in this recipe is very traditional and tasty. However, the cooking method leaves much to be desired and leads to mushy, tasteless pork. For the best flavor and texture, the pork should be smoked until finished--never placed in foil and put in the oven. The oven time steams the pork, which stops flavoring it and ruins the bark and thus the texture. In a big cruch, it may be better than nothing, but if you find the time to do it right, you will surely appreciate it.

    I am from SC where we primarily have mustard base BBQ.I married a man from Eastern NC and he got me hooked on the vinegar base. I'll never go back. I'm glad to have an actual recipe as he never measured anything and I could never get it right. I do add some hot sauce to the mixture and I love it. The hotter, the better.

    I wanted to treat friends to a real Carolina barbecue. This is it. I followed the directions and the meat was succulent and delicious, especially with the smoking element.

    She got it right! Slow cooking is the key to great pork barbecue. Served with finely chopped coleslaw on a hamburger bun, this will be memorable! Consider adding a bit of honey to offset the heat of the spice.
