This was my mom's recipe. When she made it we knew company was coming! She taught this recipe in steps so she could use it with her cooking class at the local community college, I think. Anyways..... You have at the end of the recipe, her recipe for the batter and the sauce. The actual pork and seasonings were we have that in notes too. But we feel the star of the show is the sauce and it's worth mentioning the batter recipe since mom used it in several recipes
