Step By Step Instructions

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to desired heat level), and salt and black pepper to taste. Ketchup: Use good-quality ketchup for a balanced flavor and smooth texture. Tomato sauce or tomato puree can be used as a substitute, but it may require adjustments in sweetness and seasoning. Yellow mustard: Yellow mustard is the traditional choice for authentic Carolina BBQ sauce. Dijon mustard can be used as an alternative for a slightly different flavor profile. Brown sugar: Dark brown sugar offers a rich, molasses-like flavor that complements the sauce well. Light brown sugar or granulated white sugar can be used instead. Worcestershire sauce: Worcestershire sauce adds depth and umami to the sauce. You can omit Worcestershire sauce if desired, which may slightly alter the overall flavor. Paprika: Smoked paprika adds a smoky flavor to the sauce, enhancing the Carolina BBQ profile. Regular paprika can be used as a milder substitute, though it won’t provide smokiness. Garlic powder: Garlic powder offers convenience and consistent flavor. Minced fresh garlic can be used as a substitute, but adjust the quantity to taste. Cayenne pepper: Cayenne pepper provides a moderate heat level. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your preferred level of spiciness. You can also use hot sauce or red pepper flakes as alternatives. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld together. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as desired, adding more salt, black pepper, or cayenne pepper to achieve the desired flavor and heat level. Use the sauce as desired, or remove the saucepan from the heat and let the Carolina BBQ sauce cool. Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container and store it in the fridge.
