I've been smoking bbq for about 4 years now and I've tried every iteration of sauce under the sun, and this has become my favorite so far, bought or homemade.This sauce is made for pulled pork and combines the liquid tang of western Carolina style sauce with the subtle tomato sweetness of an eastern Carolina style sauce (Lexington dip). Best of both worlds.

This vinegar based bbq sauce is easy, cheap and fast to make

My version of homemade Carolina-style BBQ sauce, which pays homage to all 3 regional styles of Eastern, Southern, and Western Carolinas. The basic foundation of this sauce is vinegar, tomato (ketchup), and mustard tastes ... with a balance of citrus-sweetness (fruit) and heat (peppers).I prepare this each year (64oz) for a full-season of outdoor grilling or smoking. It’s not the full ingredient recipe mind you, but what the heck; it’s a good foundational start for you.

This is a vinegar and mustard based sauce often served with shredded meats.

This is my interpretation of the Carolina Gold Barbecue sauce that Cookpad member Jessica Crain puts on her chicken drumsticks. Thank you Jessica.

Eastern NC is vinegar base, Western more tomato. We live far western but love this on smoked pulled pork

This is one of my favorite recipes this is not a custom recipe of my own is a recipe from buttermilk and bourbon restaurant in Boston chef Jason Santos I’ll read you his quote this is definitely a must try to take it from me “ this may be my favorite recipe in this book I put this beep on everything this is the most popular sauce at the restaurant and all of my staff call this “crack sauce“ because it is literally good on anything use it as a marinade or a barbecue sauce or a salad dressing or a dipping sauce“.

Sweet, tangy, bold, spicy. This BBQ sauce has it all. I've been working to perfect it and I honestly think it's better than anything store bought.

Delicious! Good on any meat or seafood!
