MemberGot rid of the matchlight.
Also very thankful for the mustard base sauce. Been trying to find a good one that I can make myself at home so thanks again.
Where does the Carolina mustard based sauce come from???
So, a quick summary. South Carolina = mustard based sauces. North Carolina East tends to ketchup base and West is vinegar based. Dang, I don't even want to ask about peaches....
Better yet heres the recipe for you:
Mustard Vinegar Sauce
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup Yellow mustard
1/4 cup onion finely minced
2 cloves garlic pureed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Combine ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
For a smoother sauce, blend on high for a few minutes
I was stationed in North Carolina (near the banks) in the infancy of my BBQ appreciation life. ....Over 20yrs ago...yikes....
While there I enjoyed much of what crossed my plate. I understand that there is a distinct difference between eastern and western Carolina style BBQ. What are the key differences and can someone point me toward some representative rub & sauce recipes? I'd like to add this to my tool kit.
South Carolina has the best BBQ in the world. Sauce is vinegar and mustard based.
for NC style, do you guys put some of the vinegar-based sauce on the whole batch of pulled pork, or just let people put their own amount on?
In my experiences the sauce is added to the pork as it is chopped, either coarse or fine....
it was much later in my life before I ever heard about pulled pork...
