I used to be able to pass by a pulled pork sandwich without many temptations. Then my friend, Jamie, introduced me to this recipe, Pulled Pork with Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce. Now I have the opposite problem… I eat three sandwiches in one sitting. 🙂 If you are a fan of BBQ, also try these Slow Cooker Fall Off the Bone Pork Ribs.
I LOVE the flavor of this homemade BBQ sauce. It’s not as sweet as most pulled pork recipes, and it doesn’t have the extreme tangy-ness that can sometimes be a major component in BBQ. It’s so simple, too…nothing exotic in the sauce. You’ve probably got everything it calls for on hand right now!

It has lemon juice instead of vinegar as the acid, and I think that is the difference that I like so much. It is FANTASTIC!!!! Eaten on one of my Easy Homemade Hard Rolls (slightly toasted) makes it a little piece of heaven.
I also love the consistency of the meat and the sauce together. It is not soupy at all, so your bun doesn’t become a soggy mess when you are eating it.

Tips for making Pulled Pork with Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce
- I used a frozen pork loin roast. I cooked it in a 350-degree oven for 4 hours before shredding it.
- Use a food processor to finely chop the onion and celery.
- You know I put carrots in everything, but it is totally optional in this recipe.

I made this last night. It was delicious ! My family and I enjoyed it. It was my first attempt at making a pulled pork recipe.I will be making it numerous times. It is easy to make :D.
Yay! I love that pulled pork so much! I am glad your family liked it. Now I am wishing I had the ingredients so I could make it tomorrow.

Oh yum! That sounds so good!
That was the best .my family and I loved it and so easy to make it was my first time doing pulled pork my pork was left over from last night turned out perfect .I am already telling my friends about it are all your recipes this good?
Thank you Marj, You are so sweet. I love this recipe too. And yes, if you like this recipe I think our taste is similar and you will love all my recipes. 🙂
Made for the first time, for a friends gathering, was one of the best pulled pork sandwich we ever had. Everyone took the recipe. Will keep
I am so glad to hear this. I LOVE this recipe too, I think it is absolutely delicious and I’m so happy you found it and shared it with others!
I wupas excited when I saw that your sauce was homemade – because all the other ones I found have ketchup in them. Oops! So does yours. In my book, that disqualifies it from being homemade unless you made the ketchup
I gave my family 3 recipe options from your blog that I had written down. This is what they chose and was shocked when they actually loved it so much thet asked for seconds. They are all 3 such picky eaters. My 4 yr old literally licked her plate clean. Haha. 5 stars for sure.
HA! That’s awesome! I am soooo happy that you made this. I feel like it doesn’t get the love it deserves. Such a unique barbecue flavor that is perfect on pulled pork. Seriously makes my day that you made this and your family loved it.
