WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA VINEGAR BARBEQUE SAUCE
This is a Southern vinegar barbeque sauce with a splash of ketchup. I transfer some of the sauce to a plastic squeeze bottle for serving, and keep the rest in a glass quart jar in the refrigerator. Be sure to let the sauce come to room temperature before serving (you can warm it in the microwave if you want.)

WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA VINEGAR BARBECUE SAUCE
I was searching for a western NC bbq sauce for some beef for my husband and there were none on here so I am posting this one. There are disputes about how western versus eastern NC bbq sauces are made. Some say no tomato based and some say add that ketchup! I don't really know, but this is good! Transfer some of the sauce to a plastic squeeze bottle for serving, and keep the rest in a glass quart jar in the refrigerator. I don't eat meat but love to dunk my toast in this. It's also good over grilled vegetables! I borrowed this from Allrecipes, submitted by Ogreugly.

EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA BARBECUE SAUCE WITH A WEST COAST TWIST
I'm not sure if using honey instead of sugar really qualifies as a 'West Coast twist,' but it does ensure that people from North Carolina can't attack me for this Eastern North Carolina-style barbecue sauce not being authentic. Anyway, while this isn't exactly what you might find in the Tar Heel State, it was fantastic on pulled pork.
