CAROLINA BBQ GOLD SAUCE

Carolina BBQ Gold Sauce image

A slightly sweet, mustard-based barbecue sauce popular in South Carolina for use when grilling or roasting chicken and pork. Recipe is for a mild version - with an optional Hot version. If you like really browned chicken, start basting early; otherwise, baste frequently after the first 30 minutes of grilling. For crockpot BBQ, add 1 cup of sauce the crockpot with Boston butt, and cook until very tender. Remove and discard excess fat from pork. Chop or shred pork, place in buns, and serve with extra sauce.(serving=1/4 cup)

Ingredients

2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups prepared mustard
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups Splenda granular or 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 cup water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 -2 teaspoon onion powder or 1/2 cup finely minced onion, sauteed
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4-3/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2-3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 -3 teaspoons louisianna hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

In saucepan, whisk together all dry ingredients.
Add mustard, tomato paste, and molasses.
Slowly add vinegar, whisking till blended.
Add water and whisk to blend.
Heat over medium-low heat till hot; lower to simmer and simmer 30-45 minutes.
Cool, then pour into glass bottle or other non-reactive container.
Refrigerate, if desired.
Our favorite way to use this sauce (1) poured over chopped pork on buns or (2) to baste bone-in chicken when grilling.
The sooner you baste, the more browned the chicken gets, and we like it browned and charred (not burned), so we baste early and frequently.

PALEO CAROLINA GOLD BBQ SAUCE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

PALEO CAROLINA GOLD BBQ SAUCE Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by ROBandSEAN

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 strips of nitrite free bacon, diced (preferably humanely raised and sugar free if you can find it)
1/2 a red onion, diced
2 - 9 oz. containers of Annie's Organic Yellow Mustard, or approximately 2 cups of another organic, sugar free, gluten free YELLOW mustard (it must be YELLOW! Not DIJON or BROWN or any other mustard. IT. MUST. BE. YELLOW)
3/4 cup of good honey (preferably raw and local)
1 tablespoon of granulated garlic
1 Tablespoon of paparika
3/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps:

Sauté the diced onions and bacon in a heavy bottom pot for 15 minutes until the bacon is cooked and the onions are nice and soft. I used a Le Creuset for easy cleanup. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes until all the flavors have married. Store in glass mason jars, and serve on just about anything. Yup, it's delicious. I highly recommend you make some as soon as possible. Can it be made without bacon? Sure, but why would you? It might be good, but not nearly as good as the bacon version. Also, here is a little tip: it can be difficult to get all the mustard out of the plastic containers, so pour some of the apple cider vinegar into the mostly-emptied mustard bottles, reseal them, and shake them up. The vinegar is going to go in the sauce anyway, and this way you get all of the mustard. Waste not, want not! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

Tips:

For a smokier flavor, grill or smoke your pork shoulder before shredding it.
If you don't have time to smoke the pork shoulder, you can use a pre-cooked pulled pork from the store.
Be sure to use a good quality vinegar-based barbecue sauce for this recipe.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar to taste. If you like a sweeter sauce, add more brown sugar.
Add a tablespoon of molasses for added depth of flavor.
Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread.

Conclusion:

This Carolina BBQ Gold Sauce is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your next pulled pork sandwich or barbecue. The combination of vinegar, brown sugar, and spices creates a tangy and sweet sauce that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy barbecue sauce, give this Carolina BBQ Gold Sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
