Warm, 5-Napkin Pulled-Pork Sandwiches

½ cup chopped onion

2/3 cup ketchup

3 Tbsp. brown sugar

2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp. cider vinegar

2 Tbsp. molasses

¼ tsp. Tabasco (or to taste)

1 Lb. cooked pork tenderloin, at room temperature

4 potato sandwich rolls (or hamburger buns), split

 

Combine onion, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, molasses and Tabasco in a saucepan; bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a gentle simmer.  Continue to simmer 15 minutes, until sauce is thickened and flavors are well blended.

Meanwhile, drag a fork lengthwise along surface on tenderloin to shred meat in long, thin pieces.  When sauce is cooked, add shredded meat to pot and remove from heat.  Toss thoroughly and spoon onto rolls.           4 servings
