South Carolina Mustard Barbecue Sauce
Elevate your barbecue experience with homemade South Carolina mustard barbecue sauce, a perfect blend of sweetness and heat.
Here it is– my version of South Carolina’s mustard sauce for those of us who like a little kick with our barbecue. Most barbecue lovers will tell you that the meat and its smoke-infused flavor should stand on their own. I have no argument with this opinion. I would guess, however, that most of us would like a bit of augmentation in the flavor department when sinking our teeth into juicy barbecued meats.
This recipe is simple to prepare. It is slightly sweet with the right amount of heat. It is like flicking the nitro switch, but in a flavor drag race. It’s the extra flavor that pushes your body back into the seat. Pour a bit of this liquid gold into your tank and let me know if you don’t slap yourself silly. It is delicious with chicken, but it is made for pork. Having said that, who is ready for some pulled pork?!
