North Carolina Barbecue Sauce

Submitted by StickyMeat

"This is a recipe for NC BBQ sauce that we used to use in a restaurant I worked at a few years ago. It has no sugars in it, which is perfect for me because I prefer BBQ sauces that are not sweet. This is the best NC sauce I've ever had."

 

• Ready In: 18mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 1 Gallon Sauce

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup black pepper
• 1⁄4 cup salt
• 1⁄4 cup cayenne pepper
• 1⁄8 cup mustard powder
• 1 gallon apple cider vinegar

directions

1. Mix black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper and mustard powder.
2. Add dry mix to 1 gallon of apple cider vinegar in a pot on stove. Heat on medium whisking occasionally. Cook about 10-15 minutes, reducing heat as necessary to keep below a simmer. You just want to heat it enough to help release the flavor of the spices in the vinegar.
3. Sauce is excellent on pork barbecue or barbecue chicken. Shake well before using.
