​🔥 Pulled Pork Finishing Sauce –
Sweet, Tangy & Packed with Flavor
🍖Affectionately known as "A.S.S." (Angela’s Secret Sauce) by our fun-loving and occasionally "slightly tipsy" friends, this sweet and tangy vinegar-based BBQ sauce is the ultimate finishing touch for a pulled pork sandwich.
The combination of apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and ketchup creates the perfect balance of sweet and tart, while red pepper flakes and pepperoncini juice add just the right kick to keep things interesting.

🌿 Ingredients:
✔ 1½ cups apple cider vinegar 🍏 – The bold, tangy base.
✔ ¼ cup packed brown sugar 🍯 – Adds sweetness & depth.
✔ ¼ cup ketchup 🍅 – Gives a rich, smooth texture.
✔ 2 tsp red pepper flakes 🌶️ – Brings a mild, lingering heat.
✔ 2 Tbsp juice from a jar of pepperoncini 🫑 – Adds a zesty, tangy punch.

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Heat & Mix: Add all ingredients to a saucepan over low heat.
2️⃣ Simmer & Meld Flavors: Let the sauce simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens and the flavors blend together.
3️⃣ Cool & Use: Remove from heat and let cool before serving.

🔥 Best Ways to Use A.S.S.
