Wow I bet that was great. I need to try that East Carolina Dip. I guess I can google it. Can you post the recipe ? Is it very hot ? I know that hot is all relative.
I bet the handle is one of Marty Leaches masterpieces. What is engraved on it ?
Yeah the handle is from Marty Leach. I have 3 of his handles, 1 for each of my performers and 1 for my UDS. They have Sublime on them since my friends call my deck Awa's Sublime Smokin Deck.
Recipe for Eastern Carolina Dip
4 cups apple cider vinegar
1-2 tablespoons sugar (I dont keep regular sugar in my house so I use turbinado sugar)
pinch of tablespoon salt
As much crush red pepper you can stand.
I mix mine in a old spaghetti sauce bottle my roommate was going to throw out. I make it normally the week before I do a cook and each day I shake it up at least once. I use just enough dip to give the batch of pulled pork the slight tang from the vinegar so I normally have leftover dip. The left over dip I let sit till my next pulled pork.
For a vinegar based sauce I make what people call shack sauce. I use it in place of hot sauce for the most part. I like it on left over pulled pork.
1 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup hot sauce (I use franks)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons yellow mustard.
