Carolina Vinegar BBQ Sauce

Carolina Vinegar  Sauce

This sauce started as a recipe from the BBQ Bible that I have tweaked till I have one that suits me. I keep a gallon of this made up in the fridge at all times. I use it to add to other sauces or for basting or just a good bbq sauce for pulled pork.

2 1/2 Cups of White Vinegar (or apple cider vinegar if you like it)

1/2 Cup of Thick BBQ sauce (use spicy sauce if you like hot)

1/2 cup of water

2 tablespoons of brown sugar (white sugar works too)

4 teaspoons of salt

4 teaspoons of Red pepper flakes (like you put on pizza)

1 to 2 tablespoons of hot sauce (Crystal or Tabasco or your favorite)

1 teaspoon of black pepper

1 teaspoon of white pepper

1 teaspoon of dry rub (still good without this)

1 to 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper

You can add store bought BBQ sauce a little at a time if the vinegar is too much for you or if it is too spicy for your taste.

Mix all this together is a big jar or jug and shake it till the salt dissolves.

You can brush this on a little during the last hour of smoking. I just put a bowl of it on the table and spoon a little over my smoked pork.
