South Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce

"This was a great memory of mine that my dad used to make.....unfortunately he kept all his recipes in his head and took them all to his grave with him. With the help of other ZAAR members and several other websites, this is what I was able to recreate. Awesome on pulled or chopped pork. Especially tasty when served on bakery fresh buns and pork!!"

  1. Full disclosure: I have never had South Carolina bbq before. I live in California and am a devotee of Central Texas bbq. I smoked a couple of pork butts (dry rub, Austin style) yesterday but I can't eat my usual Rudy's Sause as I am attempting Atkins. On a whim, I made this in no time this morning with Splenda and ate it on my Central Texas pulled pork this morning. It was fantastic! Unorthodox, I know. Mixing Q styles, bad, I know. Delicious! So much so that I'm going to learn a little more about South Carolina bbq! Thanks for sharing this and opening my eyes to more ways of loving smoked meats.
     
  2. This is real S Carolina sauce. The ratio of mustard to vinegar is authentic. The Carolinas were settled mostly by Germans who often disliked tomatoes. Since vinegar and mustard are intregal flavor in many German dishes, Carolinas unique sauces were born
     
  3. Yep. Simple. Easy. Correct. Simplicity is the way we should cook. I cleaned the fridge a bit with mine, used honey Dijon, Bragg's organic cider vinegar, Clancy's special hot sauce, sambal olek, homemade dandelion honey versus the brown sugar. Came out PERFECT. This has the right proportions of ingredients so you can play. Bravo.
     
  4. Five Star because its tough to find a decent Vinegar based Mustard sauce. This is good basic and you can Tweek it to suit your own tastes. I have a better one but it has about ten times the Butter thats in this one and it is SO unhealthy. One Hint - -Boil the Vinegar separately before adding other ingredients and it will tone down the Vinegar taste. Thanks for the recipe, it does qualify as SOUTH Carolina Sauce.
     
  5. I am laughing at some of the bad reviews here. Obviously from people who don't like vinegar sauces, or even mustard sauces. Anyway, this is a real deal recipe for South Carolina style BBQ sauce. It is nuanced in a way most BBQ sauces are not, the flavor layers build on one another. It has heat, but not in-your-face gratuitous heat. I live in SC and know about mustard sauces. I like the thin vinegar/ketchup sauces best, but nothing beats mustard based sauce for ribs.

Tweaks

  1. I doubled the butter, sauteed 1/4 of a medium onion minced, 3 cloves of garlic minced, and deglazed with 2oz Jim Beam. Reduced a little and followed the rest of the recipe except added about 3tbsp more yellow mustard, about 3 tbsp stone ground mustard, and about 2tbsp more brown sugar.
     
  2. Next time I make this, I'll cut the salt in half. I use kosher salt when cooking, which seems to taste "saltier" to me. Salt was the dominant flavor in my sauce. Other than that, it was great!
     
  3. The Colman's powder mustard and our justpanela.com cane sugar!
     
  4. made splenda
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Born and raised in Florida I can always remember being in the kitchen or out near the grill when Mom and Dad were cooking, kinda like a hungry dog waiting for a scrap, LOL. So anyways, I have always loved to cook, even when I was in the military I had hotplates and electric skillets in my dorm room, no chow hall for me thanks!!! Funny how many "friends" show up when they smelled home cooking!! I enjoy cooking shows and get a lot of my ideas there. Also since I have discovered ZAAR I have gotten a lot of inspiration here. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <style>body { background: url("http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/2057/uk/academia/images/studentzine/palm_tree.jpg");background-repeat: repeat; }</style>
