Carolina Mustard Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients

• •1 cup yellow mustard
• •1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
• •3 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
• •2 tablespoons honey
• •1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• •1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
• •1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. 1Combine the yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and honey in a small saucepan and whisk until smooth.
2. 2Add the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper, and whisk to fully combine.
3. 3Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce just begins to bubble, about 10 minutes.
4. 4Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld.
5. 5Remove from heat and let the sauce cool for 5 minutes before tasting; adjust vinegar for more tang or brown sugar for more sweetness.
6. 6Transfer to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate; the sauce keeps for up to 3 weeks and serves about 16 two-tablespoon portions.

💡 The sauce thickens further as it cools, so pull it off the heat while it still looks slightly thin.
