• 3/4 cup (175 ml) Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) lemon juice
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) molasses
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) Dark Karo Syrup
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) cayenne pepper sauce
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) spicy brown mustard
• 3/4 cup (175 ml) dark brown sugar, packed
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) chili powder
• 2 tsp (10 ml) coarsely ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground allspice
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) Liquid Smoke (optional)
• Pulled pork:
• 6 lbs (2.7 kg). to 8 lbs (3.6 kg). pork shoulder or butt.
• 1-1/4 cups (300 ml) water
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) cider vinegar
• 2 cups (475 ml) sauce

Preparation

• Pour the oil into a large saucepan and set over medium-high heat.
• Toss in the onions, green peppers and give them a stir.
• Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until soft and golden.
• Add the garlic and cook for a minute more.
• Dump in everything else except the Liquid Smoke.
• Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the sauce simmers.
• Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often.
• Swirl in the Liquid Smoke and let the sauce cool.
• Pour sauce into a container, cover, and store in the fridge till ready to use.
• For pulled pork:
• Carve away most of the fat layer from pork.
• Put the shoulder in a crockpot and add water and cider vinegar(mixed).
• Cook on low setting for 10 hours (overnight).
• Remove meat from crockpot, discarding liquid. and "pull" it off the bones. I use two table forks (works well).
• When the pork is "pulled", return it to the crock pot.
• Add two cups of the sauce you've prepared and mix well.
• Set the crockpot to "warm", and let stand for three or more hours.
• Check crockpot often for a stir or maybe a little more sauce.

Serve with soft Kaiser rolls (I prepared corn meal pancakes to substitute for the rolls ! )
