Western North Carolina Vinegar Barbecue Sauce image

I was searching for a western NC bbq sauce for some beef for my husband and there were none on here so I am posting this one. There are disputes about how western versus eastern NC bbq sauces are made. Some say no tomato based and some say add that ketchup! I don't really know, but this is good! Transfer some of the sauce to a plastic squeeze bottle for serving, and keep the rest in a glass quart jar in the refrigerator. I don't eat meat but love to dunk my toast in this. It's also good over grilled vegetables! I borrowed this from Allrecipes, submitted by Ogreugly.

Time 50m

Yield 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/3 cups ketchup
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce, to taste (Texas Pete is good or Tabasco)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (optional)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the vinegar, sugar, ketchup, butter, hot pepper sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, mustard powder, salt, and pepper into a saucepan.
  • Bring to a simmer over high heat, and then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer about 30 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from stove and pour into a heatproof bowl. Cover, and refrigerate the sauce for 2 days.
  • Strain the sauce through a sieve to remove the red pepper flakes.
  • Store the sauce in the refrigerator.
  • Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • To serve, slow cook your meat (in whichever method you prefer). When done pull the meat with a fork (it should be so well cooked, it just falls off). Add sauce and toss to coat completely. Enjoy!

This sauce is not worth the effort. I'll just buy a bottle of barbecue sauce next time.

This sauce is too thick. I think I'll try adding some more vinegar next time.

This sauce is too thin. I think I'll try simmering it for a bit longer next time.

This sauce is not as smoky as I would like. I think I'll try adding some smoked paprika next time.

I found this sauce to be a bit too tangy. I think I'll try adding some more sugar next time.

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good.

This sauce is a great way to add some flavor to grilled chicken or fish.

I love the simplicity of this sauce. It's made with just a few ingredients, but it packs a lot of flavor.

This sauce is perfect for pulled pork. It's tangy and sweet, and it really penetrates the meat.

I'm not usually a fan of vinegar-based barbecue sauces, but this one is really good. It's got a nice smoky flavor that balances out the vinegar.

I've tried a lot of vinegar-based barbecue sauces, but this one is by far the best. It has a great depth of flavor and is not too sweet or tangy.

This sauce is a staple in our house! It's the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and smoky. We love it on pulled pork, chicken, and even tofu.
