OakPit · 06-25-2011, 08:56 PM

In appreciation of great vinegar, I was inspired to ask you all for your favorite Vinegar/Carolina Style BBQ sauce recipes or recommendations...This style of BBQ sauce has quickly become one of my favorites and I'd like to learn more.

Here is one that I use..carolina sauce is my favorite when it comes to pulled pork. this will make quite a bit so either make it and store it or adjust measurements to what you need. This is the tame version. When I want to kick it up a notch I add a tablespoon of crushed red pepper and a teaspoon cayenne. Enjoy

4 cups Cider vinegar
2 cups Tomato sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
8 Teaspoons Worcestershire
4 Teaspoons Hickory Bacon salt
1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika
1 Teaspoon Franks Red Hot
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper

I made this for a recent party and got many compliments:

Fat Johnny's Bastardized Piedmont Sauce

1 quart cider vinegar
12 oz Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 T red pepper flakes
2 T salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp celery seed
2 T Worchestershire sauce
Juice of one lemon
1 T chipotle powder
1 tsp dry mustard
1 T onion powder

Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes. Let cool, and bottle. Great with Carolina style pulled pork BBQ sands.

Smiter Q · 06-25-2011, 11:12 PM

I too am interested in this thread. Being from TX, more than several area sauces are rich in a tomato base and pepper. I personally like twangy vinegar at times too.

Do you want a differentiation between a finishing sauce(such as for pulled pork) and a BBQ sauce? Just curious.

Q-Dat · 06-26-2011, 02:16 AM

I really like this one, and its very simple. It's the "Vaunted Vinegar Sauce" from the Smoke & Spice cookbook.

2 cups cider vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Sugar or brown sugar
1 teaspoon Cayenne or hot red pepper
2 teaspoons salt

Sterling · 06-26-2011, 04:23 AM

I like Craig (Meathead) Goldwyn's Lexington Dipping Sauce. You can find his recipe and a thousand other tips and techniques on his wonderful website, Amazingribs.com.

This always gets rave reviews, and is terrific on ribs and pulled pork:

Yield: Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
Preparation time: About 30 minutes.

Ingredients 
1 cup distilled vinegar (do not use cider vinegar)
1/4 cup ketchup 
1/4 cup apple juice 
1 teaspoon hot sauce 
3 tablespoons light brown sugar 
1/2 tablespoon salt 
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper 
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper

martybob · 06-26-2011, 05:37 AM

I love the stuff! I keep it simple.

1 quart cider vinegar
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 tbsp or more hot pepper sauce. I like franks xtra hot.

smokeyw · 06-26-2011, 06:28 AM

Here is one of my basic sauces:

Eastern NC Pulled Pork Sauce
½ gallon cider vinegar
1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
¼ cup sea salt
¼ cup crushed red pepper
1 Tbs. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. black pepper
¼ cup Texas Pete

larry t · 06-26-2011, 06:50 AM

my North Carolina BBQ Sauce

1/2 quart cider vinegar
1 1/4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 tbsp Texas Pete or Tabasco
3 tbsp black pepper
3 tbsp salt
1- 16 oz ketchup
3 tsp dry mustard
1/2 + 1/8 cup brown sugar
1 tsp red pepper flakes

Heat and boil until brown sugar dissolves. (You may simmer longer – it will get spicier the longer it cooks.)
