🌟 Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce Recipe offers an authentic and tangy flavor unique to South Carolina’s barbecue tradition.
🍯 This mustard-based sauce balances sweetness and heat perfectly, making it a versatile addition to pork, grilled chicken, and smoked meats.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: About 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

– 3/4 cup yellow mustard

– 1/2 cup honey

– 1/4 cup brown sugar

– 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

– 2 tablespoons ketchup

– 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

– Pinch or more of cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– Dash of hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1-First, gather all ingredients and measure them precisely for the best results.

2-In a large bowl, combine the yellow mustard, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and hot sauce if desired.

3-Whisk everything together until smooth, making sure the honey and brown sugar dissolve fully for that sweet tang.

4-Transfer the mixture to a small pot and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

5-Let the sauce cool down, then pour it into a jar, cover it, and refrigerate for at least one day to deepen the taste.

6-For dietary adaptations, swap ingredients like using plant-based mayo if needed, though this recipe sticks to its mustard base.

7-Finally, serve it warm or cold alongside grilled meats, and remember it works wonders on dishes like pulled pork or chicken.
