Eastern Carolinas Barbecue Sauce

Submitted by Chef #1266252

"A very tangy, vinegar sauce. It's almost watery, nothing like the standard American ketchup- or mustard-based sauce. Excellent with pork. This recipe makes a pint of sauce, just the right amount to make four or five pounds of pulled pork. I got the recipe from a chef in Virginia who used to live in the Carolinas."
