My dad is from South Carolina, married my mom when he came up to be in the submarine service in Groton, CT. We went home to SC once or twice a year when we were kids. Great Uncle John owned a real live barbecue pit! His pit sauce recipe is my all time favorite for using on pork of any kind: ribs, chops, etc., as well as...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 stick butter
juice of two lemons
1/4 c yellow mustard
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
to taste frozen concentrate apple juice, not dilute

Steps:

  • 1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the lemon juice and yellow mustard with the pepper. Stir all to combine well.
  • 2. Stir in the thawed apple juice concentrate to taste.
  • 3. If you like, you can personalize this recipe by adding 1 tsp. of dried tarragon, which is just wonderful on chicken. Or You can add a couple of tablespoons of molasses if you like a very sweet and earthy sauce
  • 4. The time to start brushing this on your meat, pork or chicken, is when the meat has already begun to cook. Use a slow heat and brush it onto the meat, basting it with more sauce each time you turn it. If I use the sauce without any sweetening or apple juice concentrate I will dip my chicken pieces or pork at the beginning of their cooking process and tend accordingly. I am more careful if there are sweeteners in the sauce to avoid burning. Enjoy! You're part of the family, now!

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. I prefer a more savory barbecue sauce.

This sauce is a great starting point for creating your own custom barbecue sauce. I like to add a bit of heat with some cayenne pepper and a touch of sweetness with some brown sugar. It's always a hit with my friends and family.

I was a bit disappointed with this sauce. I found it to be too sweet and not smoky enough. I ended up doctoring it up with some additional spices to make it more to my liking.

This sauce is incredible! I used it on my grilled pork chops and they were the best I've ever had. The sauce is so flavorful and has a nice kick to it. I'll definitely be making this again.
