South Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce
This South Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce is the perfect balance of tangy mustard, bold spices, a sweet blend, ketchup, and a touch of vinegar, creating a sauce deeply rooted in Carolina barbecue tradition. It’s my favorite for pork, chicken, ribs, or anything fresh off the grill.

Notes
- The secret to the best South Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce is letting it rest, I always make it a day ahead so the flavors have time to meld. If I want a deeper, more balanced taste, I simmer it low and slow, stirring occasionally to prevent any bitterness from the mustard.
- Ingredient Swaps: If I’m out of garlic granules, fresh minced garlic works, but I sauté it in oil first to mellow the raw bite. Same with onion granules.
- Consistency: If I want it extra smooth, I blend it, but not too much, I still like a little texture.
- Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 3 days ahead of time. The longer it sits the more flavors that will come out.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount to a small size saucepot and cook over low heat until warm.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. This will not freeze well.
