RODNEY SCOTT'S SECRET EASTERN CAROLINA BARBECUE SAUCE
I'm showing you exactly what goes into this world-famous BBQ sauce. Well, not exactly exact, since no real pitmaster would ever reveal their ingredients. But based on what Rodney Scott's said about this sauce in interviews, videos, and tv shows, I think this is really, really close. Sauce is safe unrefrigerated but will last longer if kept in the fridge, for up to two months.

This is usually served on top of Eastern NC pork BBQ. Found somewhere on the web with a reference to a book by Bob Garner, "North Carolina BBQ -- Flavored by Time." It also says "Recipe by Ruthie Garner" but I'm not sure if that's who put it on the web from the book or that's who gave the recipe to the book. Also served on NC Crab cake sandwiches. OOohh...someone please take me back to NC!!
