Every BBQ novice (experts, too) should buy Mike Mills' book "Peace, Love, & BBQ" for recipes and BBQ lore... what a fun read and window into many regional favorites. Mike is certainly confident (and its justified): he declares that HIS Carolina Style Mustard BBQ Sauce would be used by the legendary Maurice Bessinger (SC BBQ restauranteur) if only he had it! I told this to my neighbor who likes mustard sauces & has been known to frequent Maurice's establishments when I gave him a sample made according to Mike's recipe. Later on he informed me that Mike could be right... he liked Mike's Sauce better than Maurice's. Moreover, he wanted the recipe! I have tweeked the recipe a bit and love this sauce better than all other mustard-based sauces I have tried. It is also delicious on HAM sandwiches & sausage biscuits!

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups, approximately

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups prepared yellow mustard (French's)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup tomato paste
5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (can adjust to desired heat level)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan & whisk over medium heat.
  • Once the sauce is simmering, whisk until the sugar dissolves completely. This should take 5 minutes or less.
  • Do not overcook (sauce requires less time simmering if sugar substitue is used).
  • Remove from heat and cool before using.
  • Store sauce in a sterilized GLASS jar in the refrigerator between uses.
  • (I sterilize a suitable empty BBQ sauce bottle by capping with 1/2 cup of cider vinegar inside it, swirling it by shaking several times over a few days, & then draining well when ready to fill with BBQ sauce.).
  • Optional: in place of the light brown sugar, use 1/2 cup of sugar substitute + 1T molasses. The sugar substitute version (which I now keep on hand) is diabetic friendly & easier to adapt to sugar substitute than most tomato based sauces I have attempted to modify & encountered consistency problems.

I wasn't a fan of this sauce. It was too sweet for my taste.

This sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think it would be great on ribs.

This sauce is a great way to add flavor to grilled meats. I especially like it on pork chops.
