I am a Sauce Test Dummy

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I just had to make myself eat a pulled pork sandwich I didn't want. I had to test my new sauce for the cookbook. It's fantastic on pulled pork all by itself, but I had to see if it would work in a sandwich.

The verdict: excellent, but maybe too subtle. It's hard to say. It has a lighter flavor than thick sauce, so you have to hose the pork down pretty good. It might be better if you sauteed some banana peppers with the pork.

Here's what I did. I took a slice of a big white onion and quartered it. I fried it in a little corn oil. I threw the pork in and added a tiny bit of water. With thick sauce, I would have poured Bourbon in twice and reduced it, but I didn't want to cover the taste of the thin sauce, so I skipped that step.

When the pork got nice and hot, I poured in a good dose of sauce. I put the result on a buttered, toasted onion roll.

It was wonderful, but sort of polite-tasting. Maybe next time I should boil one dose of sauce down and then add another.

Anyway, the sauce is making me very happy.
