Carolina Style BBQ Sauce

I thought that I would save this to my blog. Recipe and notes courtesey of my mother:

South Carolina Style Barbecue Sauce

This recipe makes meat taste like it was cooked by Maurice’s Barbecue. It’s combination of sweet and tangy flavors bring out the absolute best in grilled pork or chicken.

1 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 Tbsps. chili powder
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. white pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsps. butter
1 Tbsp. liquid smoke (hickory flavoring)

Mix all except soy sauce, butter and smoke. Simmer 30 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer for 10 more minutes. Vinegar taste may be very strong until completely cooled. Refrigerating overnight is best and allows flavors to blend. Add a few drops of Louisiana Hot Sauce at the end if additional heat is desired.
