Brandy-Infused Carolina Gold Mustard BBQ Sauce: South Carolina's Secret

This barbecue sauce combines Dijon mustard with white balsamic vinegar and brandy reduced to enhance its flavor. Black peppercorns, honey, lemon juice, butter, and red pepper flakes enrich the sauce with balanced heat, sweetness, and acidity. The slow simmer melds the ingredients into a thick, flavorful condiment typical of South Carolina style BBQ.
