Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce Recipe (Carolina Gold)
Description
The Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce blends yellow mustard with sweeteners including honey and brown sugar, combined with apple cider vinegar for acidity. Ketchup and Worcestershire sauce contribute complexity and savoriness, while garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt season the sauce to balance heat and flavor. The sauce is whisked together and simmered to meld the ingredients, then cooled and refrigerated to develop flavors further.
The finished sauce has a smooth, juicy-tart taste with a mild spice level, characteristic of the Carolina Gold style. It is adaptable as a condiment for grilled meats or as a dipping sauce.
It yields about two cups and benefits from resting refrigerated for at least a day. Warming before serving enhances its aroma and consistency.
