I've been experimenting with barbecue sauce recipes, and
this one from Simply Recipes is my current favorite. I cooked it for about and hour then pureed it in the food processor. The barbecue sauce comes together pretty quickly, but this batch took awhile, because I decided to make
homemade ketchup the same day. I used all the tomatoes for the ketchup, then I remembered I was supposed to same some for the barbecue sauce. So I had to finish the ketchup first, then make the sauce.
The pork is easy - season a pork shoulder with salt and pepper, add some dried hot peppers, garlic, and onions if you're feeling spicy, and cook in a slow cooker on low overnight, or 8-12 hours. Cool, then discard fat and shred the meat. If I'm feeling very motivated, I might sear the pork on all sides in a Dutch oven before slow cooking, but this involves and extra cleaning step, so it isn't a necessity.
