Fetzervalve Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 This weekend we will be serving the proceeds of a combined 80# butt cook. I suspect it will done from a roaster. I read somewhere about some juice concoction to put on the meat. I recall apple juice, but that's all I can remember. Does anyone have any suggestions for tossing some liquid on this mass in the roaster to help keep it from drying out during a likely protracted buffet arrangement?
Firemonkey Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 We are talkiing about somethign in the foil pans after its pulled, right? I would go like 4:1 juice to vinegar, and you dont need much in each pan.

LarryR Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 What you're referring to is a "Finishing Sauce." I use equal parts butter, chicken stock (canned broth is fine) and your favorite Q sauces (mine is No. 5). I don't use much, a tablespoon here and a tablespoon there.
Sanny Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 I don't sauce my pulled pork. I serve it pulled plain, and let the person eating it put the sauce on. I usually serve a choice of sauces. Some like a sweet/hot (like raspberry chipotle), some prefer a vinegar based (like Dennis' Lexington). When I'm reheating the meat and have it in a roasting pan or crock pot, I like the apple juice/vinegar liquid. Not much at all! You are just using it as a liquid to steam the meat in, not a sauce for serving. As always, YMMV.
bryan Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Re: Major pulled pork feed This weekend we will be serving the proceeds of a combined 80# butt cook. So what did you do and how did it work?
Fetzervalve Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Posted November 11, 2009 I used FM's 4:1 mixture and applied it during the re-heat and holding. Worked great
