This is a great sauce for mopping a nice smoked pork brisket and having some at the table when served. You could use this in a variety of situations; however, I think that it is best on pork products. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make pork essentials: mop & dipping sauce

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    If you are looking for some homemade recipes, here you are: Homemade Ketchup Okay, this may seem like a lot of time to spend on making ketchup; however, the time spent is well worth the flavor you get on the other side. Plus, since you’re making it from scratch, you can vary the ingredients to suit the occasion. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/versatile-homemade-ketchup.html?r=3 Homemade Worcestershire Looking for a good Worcestershire without anchovies? It is easy/peasy to make and tastes like the real thing. So yummy. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/diy-essentials-homemade-worcestershire-sauce.html?r=1
  • Step 3
    Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in “Weck Jars” and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If properly stored, this sauce should last 2 – 3 months.
  • Step 4
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Step 5
    Whisk the Stage I ingredients together in a large saucepan. Add the Stage II ingredients and mix to combine. Make sure the coffee is really hot. Add the Stage III ingredients and mix together
  • Step 6
    Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, and slowly simmer for about two hours, covered.
  • Step 7
    Allow to cool for a bit, then add to a blender, and blend until smooth.
  • Step 8
    Store in a non-reactive container in the fridge until needed.
  • Step 9
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • So yummy
    Step 10
    Use as you would any AWESOME BBQ sauce. Enjoy.
